Adjustable Frame Risk Reduction
Mounted previous MAE 156 team's cart features onto adjustable frame made of 80/20 rods.
Tested hardware with Bodie at Sponsor Meeting.
Adjustable features worked as needed.
Next Step: machine parts so that they mount more tightly onto 80/20 rods; find ways to strengthen 80/20 frame.
Established new Performance Evaluation Standard--load (weight) on Bodie's front paws
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Built Adjustable Frame prototype for Risk Reduction hardware testing
Performed first hardware test for Adjustable Frame Risk Reduction

Solution: purchase larger brackets, since original concern for space is not currently a problem
