Week 9 Recap

Mechanical

During class today we scratched the tape/wheel idea and just sanded down one of the edges so that the belt would fit the wheel without any extra components. That worked really well actually!

We also used a heat gun to morph the ends of the belt together. Here is the result!


Now we just have to go back to the machine shop to mount the base again (for proper tension) and to align the whole system properly.
