' WEIGHTLIFTING CODE VERSIONS
' ---------------------------
' There are two versions of the weightlifting program. This version
' uses the debug screen and has options to set the lifting speed,
' and the height of the lift. As a result of these capabilities,
' the program must run with the usb cable attached. The second
' version of the weightlifter program is fully automatic and
' autonomous.

' CHOOSE YOUR PENNIES
' -------------------
' If using an American penny, choose the more recent mints. From
' 1944 to 1982, a penny weighs 3.11 grams. However, from 1983 until
' 2002, a penny is much lighter at only 2.5 grams.

' It's recommended to use only a few pennies. One American penny is
' 3.6 times heavier than one Chinese Fen coin. This is because
' the penny is 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper, while the Fen is all
' aluminum.
