Updates

After re-calculating the torque needed for our machine to be able to push the tower, we decided that the safest way to ensure our strategy's success would be to implement two metal-gear motors as opposed to the originally planned Double Gearbox. We also found, after drilling the holes in one of our brackets, that the bolts used for the diameter that we had selected were too large and could not fit on the bracket together. We had to then alter the diameter so that the bolts could comfortably fit and then update the CAD drawings for the brackets. The change in motors and brackets lead us to eventually re-CAD most of our model.
