Crunch Time!

MS 9 is due this morning and things are coming down to the wire. We are completing the assembly of our machine this morning and will be done before our lab time. We hope that everything will be functioning well and we will only have small tweaks to do before Wednesday!

Below is a picture of some of the parts we have machined and assembled throughout the week. All of our team has become quite familiar with the machine shop and the auto shop. We used a variety of tools to manufacture our parts including the mill, lathe, heat treating, laser cutter, welding and more. During our machining we focused on quality, not quantity and that caused us to be in the shop for long hours perfecting our pieces.

Our team has been very busy machining and assembling all last week and a lot of the weekend. We will continue putting the finishing touches on assembly and completing the "business side" of the project. We have finished accounting for all of the purchases and trades we have made, and we came out under budget.

Please come back in a few days to see a pictures and a video of our final robot!
