3. Overall System Update

4. Final Full System CAD Model

5. TA-DA!!

6. Prototype Part - Reel System

7. Prototype Build Process - Reel System
Sawed off one bearing flange on each support to allow them to fit between snap rings.
Drilled a small hole on end caps to attach tether
Several snap rings broken. Needed 4, used 9.
Flat head screws attach end caps to reel.
Aluminum plate on top of wood used to mount.

8. Prototype Picture - Motor

9. Prototype Build Process - Motor
Milled out two ¼’’ slots on the mounting plate
Aligned the motor into position having tension on the belt
Used two ¼’’ Screws with washers hold plate down
Searched for capless set screws to mount gear
Motor was electrically connected to electrical housing

10. Prototype Part - Base Plate

11. Prototype Build Process - Base Plate
Used previous team’s three leg configuration
Attached two Eye-Bolts on either side for steaks
Holes drilled using mill machine after marking hole placement with special tools
Added thread liners onto top surface for motor
Drilled holes using the reel’s flat plate
Screwed on the electrical components box
Screwed on Ring Plate structure

12. Electrical Wired up full system on protoboard.
Tested full system in Dr. Gomes lab but were unsuccessful.
Without this functionality no field test was performed with the reel in and out.
This needs to be done ASAP.

21. Nose glued together

22. Taut
We need to make it when it gets taut, it pitches up little bit because when the string is get tight, it turns to the right and goes down.
