  - Idea presented to sponsor; they suggested to look into other ideas

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

Risks and Areas of Concern

- Machining of transmission part may be difficult
- Small size requirement of electrical connections method limits what we can choose

Resources or Information Required but not Available
