A couple new stuff was added to the BOM and ORDERED by Cole. We bought some pneumatic fittings and the new nuts that we need. Everyone else worked on the prototype. Specifically finishing up the first clamp and attaching the secind one. We successfully have first clamp on the prototype. We redrilled all of the holes for the c channel so that we can use rivets to attach it to the tower. Singer also worked with Philip to map out the network of pneumatics. They also sorted the pieces we have. With this accomplished, Jay is able to start CADing our pneumatic system.

The screws that we bought from the piston came with nuts, and how the piston is constructed makes it impossible for the nuts that we bought to fit onto the screws that we have. (pillars in the piston are too close to the screws). We ordered new, really thin nuts that we think will work.

The wood piece was originally too big and we had to sand it down as well as cutting it. At first we couldn't attach the c channel, until we decided to redrill the holes.

work on ri3d instruction manual, continue work on prototype, possibly start real part assembly if stuff comes.

Completely finish the second clamp and have them both functioning with pneumatics. Once we have the actual pneumatics, we need to lay eveything out and there are some pieces that need to be replaced/repaired.
