Week 5: Start of Presentations and Adding Bearings to the Design

For this week we listened to other sub-teams from Spartan Superway present their first presentation. We will present our presentation next week.

We have decided to add bearings to each of the joints on the linkage assembly. This will reduce the amount of friction and throughout the system and ease the forces on the actuator. We found that this would increase our budget for the Bill of Materials, however we are looking into alternative vendors to find cheaper parts.
