To do list

- Created a google doc containing a parts list and a to-do list for each part. Shared it with all of you so you    should be able to edit the document. Look at it and see if I missed out anything.

- Base plate holes are off, look at updated CAD uploaded on CTools.

Lots of things to do before the design expo! We need to keep working hard.



I DONT THINK THE BLOG IS FOR POSTING COMMENTS, WE SHOULD POST PICTURES OF OUR PROGRESS AND MODIFICATIONS IN OUR DESIGN.
I plan on manufacturing the base plate using the laser cutter on friday, so lets try to finalize our gear ratio for the planetary gearbox so i can get the correct hole placement for the motor mount.
