Our robot this year is going to involve several different mechanisms interacting in the same space, namely an elevator (linear vertical motion), with an arm attached to it. It would be really nice to have a way to determine safe setpoints of the two, and safe ways to travel between said setpoints. There are many ways to go about this, some are listed below. This is a spike, so it's purely research, find and document ways we could safely plan our motion!

Completion Criteria:
- Write a comment (or several comments) explaining the different ways you've found for solving this problem. One option may be representing the positions of our mechanisms as coordinates in a graph, and implementing a pathfinding algorithm to safely traverse that graph to reach our setpoint.
I wish I could provide you more specific resources on this, but I honestly have not done something like this before. I highly encourage whoever is reading this to work with fellow students, ask for advice, ask for help, and remember that google is your friend.
