Getting our hands dirty

This week, the FunRaiser team worked on the construction of the frame we will be mounting our design on. This had to be completed before the elements of the design so that the elements can be mounted as we go. We built this frame in the lab and are planning on sanding and finishing it in the coming weeks.

While Jacob and Aaron have been working on the frame, Ethan and Hannah have started work on their specific mothers of invention. Hannah designed and sent the Les Paul guitar to be cut and ordered the other components. Ethan ordered all of the lightbulbs and electrical components for our iteration design. Ethan has also been testing sensors and has switched from using pressure sensors to inductive proximity sensors.

Besides this, Caitlin has continued to work on the CAD model for our entire design to get all of our components working together.
