Device Description
![Page 9: ASME 2013 Design Competition](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020620/61e5baacd2ed386be1059fab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FABRICATION
Hinged sheet metal lid to hide internals
To reduce cost, all parts manufactured by team.
Scott Brogden a big help in machine shop

Material Selection and Analysis
Baseplate
� Aluminum Honeycomb
Lid and Housing
� Steel sheet metal
Bumper
� ABS plastic
Arm mount
� Aluminum angle stock
Factor of Safety: 3• Ample durability for critical part• Small size makes cost a non-factor in decision
