Week 11/15-11/19_ MS7

So this week was a little stressful for everyone. Due to exams we were not able to meet as much as we wanted but we were still able to get three of our ideas approved. Our wedge head which is made out of PVC, the threaded face plate for our arm(made out of aluminum)---so that our arm is complete, and our second arm that is made out of PVC.

In the shop we welded the face plate to our arm that we made last week, we are then going to use the 1/4"=20 threaded steel rod to connect to our arm to lift the wedge up and down from the slot.

We had a malfunction in our 8-10am time slot today with the mill, so we had to start our wedge head over again- and it is not complete yet, but we are hoping that we will be able to finish it on Monday before MS7 is due.

A plus about MS7 being due on Monday is that we will finally be able to use the waterjet to make our wedge. All of the slots were taken until Monday so now we might have a wedge to show for MS7.

Pictures of our finished parts will be provided in next week's post.
