Warn sponsor of possible error due to grips being on top. Talked with Professor Loh during our May 13th meeting and he approved this design with the knowledge of possible error.
Torque specifications, according to screw manufacturer's websites with 4 N-m will provide around 6,000 Newtons sufficient for grips. Therefore, the grips should be hand-tightened.
Best project website in class, have built off of this website to improve its ease browsing.
