Pre-Thanksgiving Rush

Well, last week was a very productive week for our team. We managed to complete our MCM in time to demonstrate it for Mark, our GSI, and while it needs some tweaking (mostly in regards to tensioning the belt system) it worked surprisingly well. We also finished all of our machining drawings--a good thing, too, considering that our machining needs to be completed this week in order to test our finished machine next week. Even though most of our parts are brackets and axles, we anticipate needing a lot of machining time this week to complete all of them. Thankfully, the chassis will be laser-cut from a sheet of plywood...the difficult part of that (positioning the holes correctly in our CAD model) is already completed!

So, this week's goal: to finish manufacturing all of our necessary remaining parts in order to test our machine's operation next week.

Only one week of machining time remains!
