Week 11/22 - 11/ 29

This past week, which was abbreviated for Thanksgiving Break, we were completely focused on finishing our MCM (assembly of all the parts we made so far) and all the engineering required for the rest of the design.
When assembling our MCM, we ran into a few things that we were not aware of. First of all, delrin, which is not porous material, does not stick well to ANY types of adhesives, especially the epoxy in our kit (which by the way, does not support shear leads). Our (temporary) solution to this, when were fastening our cap and other parts together was to rough up the delrin first with sandpaper. This works OK for now, but we made need to revisit and modify it if we have time at the end.
