Week #4 update

This week had to do some work in the Machine Shop with Mark Balzarette (again :)). Thanks for not hiding from us in Canada your patience, Mark!

We had to manufacture little brass sleeve thingies to fit between the stepper motors and belt pulleys because the pulleys that we had ordered turned out to be a little too big. Well, thanks to that we learned how to work with a few machine tools and to how to do it safely. Remember, dear reader, never try to learn safety by accident! 

Angela did a great job presenting our project in front of our fellow STEM club members. 

As you can see in the videos, we're on fire this week! We put together all the moving components, and they are behaving just perfectly. Yay! So much progress in just a month. 

The next step is to figure out the electronic components and to start printing!!!
