Acknowledgements

First, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors, Dr. Shanglei Liu and Dr. Mary Lee Krinsky, for their continuous support and encouragement throughout the course of our project. We are extremely lucky to have such inspiring, patient sponsors to guide us as we learned about the colonoscopy procedure. Dr. Shanglei Liu and Dr. Mary Lee Krinksy not only provided us valuable feedback on our designs, but also offered us potential solutions whenever we hit a roadblock. 

Next, we would like to thank our MAE 156B professor, David Gillett, for his guidance every week during our last quarter at UCSD. He consistently helped us develop new ideas whenever we were struggling. And during our moments of success, he complimented us and encouraged us to be better. We are extremely grateful to have an understanding professor who was kind and patient throughout the course of the project. 

An additional thank you to Professor Nathan Delson for his EndoGrip idea. The insert he developed is one of the many reasons why our device works so well. Without him, our device would lose the mechanical advantage due to slippage.

Thank you to Chris Cassidy for helping us print our prototypes throughout the course of the project. His swiftness and efficiency allowed us to quickly test our design so we could make the necessary changes.

Finally, we would like to thank the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCSD for the education that we received as well as the resources they provided us. Without them, we would not have been able to accomplish this project.
