S2 Week 4

Mohammed: with the addition of new parts we were able to fix up the motor with the gearbox. A noticeable use was the addition of resistance the gearbox provided once installed. The major plan for the upcoming week is to put everything together so we can find out the limits of the motor with some stress test and see if its capable of any movement. Secondary to that is seeing if with enough torque from the attached ligaments can commit to a back draft movement as the gearbox seems to add considerable resistance even when the motor was disengaged. 

Natalie: Most of the work this week was put towards Deliverable 5. Also a lot of planning and calculations for remachining the telescoping tubing to fit everything was accomplished. We are now ready to get a lot assembled and ready for testing this week.
