We can see the light at the end of the (first) tunnel!
Team Mechanical Advantage is almost at the end of the design phase! Currently, we are working on producing drawings for our modules so that we can get into the shop next week and start manufacturing. We have already fully completed the drawings for the wedge module, and will be finalizing those for the bracket/slot modules tomorrow night. Because these three modules are so interconnected, we have yet to decide what is our "Most Critical Module". Unfortunately, additional rule changes forced us to redesign our slot module (again), putting us one or two days behind schedule with our CAD. Luckily, we are still comfortable on time, even with this setback. The top bot drawings are relatively simple, and should be completed by early next week. We have also been busy creating parts lists and deciding which components to buy from McMaster-Carr.
As we complete drawings and solid models in the next few days, sample pictures and drawings will be posted on the blog! Fabricating and testing of the wedge will also commence next week, to ensure that everything is going smoothly.
