Update #1: Design Week

This is our official blog post about our progress of our slotbot machine design. This past week, we worked on some preliminary steps that are necessary to manufacturing our most critical module(MCM), and here are some of the drawings/work that we did:

Drawing of the platform where motor sits on





The plate which is attached to the lower sweeper arm to increase area



The lower arm





Threaded rod for the lower portion and upper portion of the sweep arm top




This is the upper portion of our sweeping arm

Bill of materials



Step-by-step manufacturing plan




Here is the screen shot of solidwork for our Most Critical Module

So yeah this is what we got for you so far. There should be pictures of the actual arm in about a week, stay tuned!
