planning the nuts and bolts

As we approach the end of 2022, it’s time to bring together all of our work into a comprehensive System Level Design Review.

In preparing this SLDR, we’ve spent a lot of time expanding on all of the details related to the creation of our amazing machine. We’ve outlined the specifics for the hardware that will be included in our final design, as well as our plan for the final machine assembly. We have also expanded on objectives for quality and reliability. This and more will be included in our final SLDR report.

We’ve also furthered our designs for the machine frame and track, as can be seen below. Incorporating feedback from Prototype Inspection Day, we’ve decided to 3D print the ball track.

With such detailed future plans and descriptions included in our SLDR report, we’ll be ready to hit the ground running when we continue progress in January, getting closer and closer to a complete machine!
