Final Motor Bends

Steve and I worked on the motor mounts tonight. I used Steve's metal lathe to add threads to all the spacers we drilled at our last build night.


While I threaded all the spacers, Steve finished bending the motor mounts. The brake is a little too big for the ankle pieces, so he took it home to see if he could make some modifications and allow for more shallow bends. The group discussed ankle to motor mount connection options. Dan Baker used nuts and bolds, but we decide to use pop rivets.


Once all the bending and threading was done Steve, Jason, and I assembled six and a half motor mounts (that is all we could do until we drill out some more spacers).
