Final Week

Our last week was quite busy finishing up all of our components for the final machine. We built our wedge by water jetting the holes and an unfolded shape. Then we clamped the wedge in a vice and bended it by hammering the sides to form 90 degree angles.

We also had to decide how to attach our big car to the arm. We decided to use the magnets from our kit. By adding screws to the arm and magnets to the car, there should be enough of a hold to move the arm backwards and forwards.

We are finishing up our wooden base this morning and should be all set to run it for our workshop session at 11:30.
