The Corkscrew has supports . . . kind of

So Annie was not here today, but I decided to sketch an approximation for the support system of the corkscrew. It is a 23" x 23" x 56" box made of 1" x 1" tubing. The posts will not necessarily be connected by a square at the bottom, but I thought it would help to visualize the supports.


Next I think we will tackle the task of CAD-ing a brush that we can add into our final drawing of the chassis. Right now our brush in the corkscrew is a cylinder with the appearance of a sponge.

Ship Day is 13 days away so most of the CAD-ing that we have left to do is just for our learning experience and practice. We are looking forward to rejoining the build team as the season winds down as well.
