Update#2
We recently redesigned our car which now has a more stable base and double-motor feature. We are also in the process of ordering parts that are provided by the class. Some of the parts include rubber wheels, nylon, and countersunk screws. Over the past weekend, we finished manufacturing our inner and outer arms. Mac helped the team drill the required holes on these arms. We also experienced our first incident in the machine shop. Mac accidentally broke the drill bit while working on drilling a hole on the block and left a flaw on it. Definitely, this is something we will try to avoid in the future.
As the due date of MS7 is coming up, we still have to finish cutting and adding filet to the end of inner arm and laser cutting a steel metal sheet to make the winch base. Also we are planning on remaking the inner block and possibly moving on to the next stage of our manufacturing plan. Hopefully, after this busy week, we are going to finalize our design for car and all the arm components.
