Most Critical Module

Hey Bloggers,

Just posting about our Most Critical Module for our machine today. The module turned out about as good as we had hoped. At first we were going to use bearings for the arm mounts, but we decided to use bushings instead because it would save us money, and the arm won't be rotating enough were friction would be a concern for the team. We had a little issue decided what we wanted to do about constraining the ball scoop from rotating too much. We had a previous plan to use epoxy and two screws, but our GSI Serge recommended to just use hot glue instead and to save the epoxy until we need it for bonding our acrylic parts. So we used hot glue and the ball scoop turned out fine. Besides those issues, we really didn't have anything else that went on with our MCM.
