Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments  (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • Comments from Dr. T and Pedro (Proof of Concept Presentation):

    • Suggested using a brass block with two holes and wires running through it to cut

    • Mentioned that we could use replaceable parts

    • For the knots, Dr. T suggested some other methods:

      • Crimping: crimp one side with

      • Material suggestions: teflon, stainless steel/brass

        • Not likely that nylon would be durable enough

    • Potential risks

      • Cutting over and over again is that mesh could potentially cut too

      • Small radius of curvature could yield
