The brake I bought from Harbor Freight was not sturdy enough to handle the 5052 aluminum we are using for the motor mount/ankle project. Steve cut and welded some spare pieces of angle iron and steel he had laying around to make a new brake...a large brake...a strong brake...BRAKE-ZILLA!
Steve fixed the motor mounts that were not bent correctly on the last build day and then get bent three more motor mounts sets.
We have four complete sets of motor mounts bent (ankle pieces still need to be bent).
While Steve was bending the motor mounts, I continued to drill the holes in spacer pieces.
We wanted to have one motor mount for display at the Robotics Championship Of The Americas on Friday, so Steve swapped out the metal lathe setup to tap four spacers and assemble the motor mount.
