All Engineering Complete

After a grueling session in the CES lab (supplied with pizza of course) we knocked out all the solidworks parts for the rest of our machine. The design is looking solid, and we minimized the number of machined parts for the rest of our modules.

One issue we ran into while working on the MCM is that we didn't realize how time-consuming all of our precise machined parts were. The advantage of them is that we will have a solid drive-train assembly which will minimize misalignment issues. The rest of our machine should be finished very quickly now that we have the go-ahead from Nassim, which will give us lots of time to practice, a key component in our strategy. Looking forward to making the rest of our machine after break.
