Finished Machine/ Test Run + Manufacturing tips

We have finished the car and are in the progress of testing our devices.

Manufacturing tips...
1. When possible (tolerance don't matter that much or can be filed down) use the hack saw and not have to wait in a long line for the vertical band-saw.
2. If you use fishing line and tie knots in it, put some superglue on the knot. This will keep it from undoing itself.
3. If you want to accurately change the hole of something that rotates, turn it on the lathe and do not use a drill press to make the hole. (This is hypocritical because we actually used the drill press to make these holes)
4. When tapping holes, use cutting fluid.
5. Go into the shop early to avoid the crowd.
6. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
