Changed design for the corkscrew

Well, I just found out today that the design for the corkscrew has been changed to include three helixes instead of two. I have been working on the design while Annie has been FOMFing her weekend out. I have run into a problem wit the Sweep tool but hopefully that will sort itself out soon. The gearboxes have been moved to the front of the chassis in "thought" design so now i just need to move them on the actually CAD design. Other than that the weekend has been fairly uneventful.

Tanya joined us on Thursday night to help us with some of our questions involving the corkscrew. We developed a drawing of two helixes together, and then altered it for the then design of the two helixes being separated by 4.5" in height. We connected them together on a base plate. For the three helixes wee will jsut enlarge the base plate and add another connector and elevate it to the correct height.


We are coming down to the final week before ship so we will just work to make sure the CAD drawings match what we have decided to actually build.
