This week was a really productive one for our team. We finalized the first draft of our budget and put together our first real shopping list, which helped us get a clearer picture of what we actually need to buy and how everything fits into our overall plan. We also spent time researching local welding and assembly services to see who might be the best fit for fabricating the larger structural parts of our system once we receive our parts and move into the build phase. On top of that, we were in the lab running tests with the equipment we already have, just to get a better feel for its current limits, what works well, and what still needs improvement. Those tests gave us some helpful baseline data and a clearer idea of which components might need to be upgraded or replaced down the road. Overall, it felt like a good blend of planning, research, and hands-on work that set us up well for what’s coming next. Thumbs up for the home stretch.
