The biggest takeaway from this assignment is that I couldn’t just throw parts together, even if they were the most expensive pieces. I learned that some parts required two of the same of other parts or that all compartments had to be filled. I also learned that if I stayed with in the parts that had high ratings that most of those parts were compatible with each other.
