Earlier this week we were finally able to fully assemble our most critical module (the harvester). Over the past two weeks we have been manufacturing all of the parts necessary for this module, and on Tuesday afternoon all of our hard work payed off as we were able to assemble the harvester with relative ease. Thanks to the high tolerances we were able to achieve with the laser cutter, our press-fit parts were able to attach quite snugly and provide the solid structure that we need.
In addition to the completion of the harvester assembly, we received approval on the remainder of the engineering for our robot. With this clearance we are stepping manufacturing into high gear this week, finishing the remainder of the frame rails, and water-jetting the final parts of our robot on Thursday.
