Risks and Areas of Concern

The primary concerns at this point are in the effectiveness of electrical contact for the pins of our Plans B and C
The fabrication of a block of Aluminum Nitride may wear down and destroy our Diamond Saw.
- The diamond drill bits may also break/wear down.
The PCB being produced had relatively high tolerances - this may lead to shoddy electrical connections.
- We may need to produce our own PCB.
