During Wednesday's Lab session, Corwin and Michael did a great job cuting the taper on the band-saw. The finished surface was very clean and smooth. Besides finishing the parts for MS7, we took a further step in terms of finalizing our design. Since we had some problems with using a string to constrain the sping inside the outer arm, we are now adopting the idea of using a rod to keep the sring in line. We also added another hole on the inner block to make this design possible.
Simplicity has been a key design principle of our project. As our car design is being remodeled, we will continue to keep everything simple while functional. Majority of parts for our car are given in the supply kit and avoid complicated machining.
