Original Piston Design
These are top/side views of one of our original piston designs.
We chose not to use them because they left too much room for error, as they were not structurally secure and too heavy.
This is another original piston design.
It was a great design, but would break too easily upon use because of its size and material.
This is our final design!
Because the pistons were not reliable, we altered our design to utilize strings connected to a moving track moving in tandem to create a straight edge pushing the pieces in position.
