Week 12: CAD Revisions

This week we were able to revise our design by shortening the overall vertical length of the suspension. The CAD assembly is shown below. With this new design, the actuator is placed directly in the middle of the linkage so there isn't an internal bending moment within the design. The linkage can achieve a range of 19 degrees in incline to 24 degrees in decline, which is suitable for our purpose.
