Week 9 Accomplishments:

Initial pressure testing began for our baseline bolts and Sikaflex. Metal was ordered from Escondido Metal Supply and delivered to the machine shop to build the latch style flange assembly. Latch style clamps were also ordered and should be expected before the machine shop completes the flange assembly. The team delivered our preliminary design presentation.
