Coming to a close

Our housing unit is finally coming together. Pat has glued the housing together, and tomorrow we will attach all of our components

Unfortunately, the gears and beams we ordered never came in, so we're kind of at a loss here. Scrambling to get something useful to use for our central shaft, we accidentally developed a more streamlined way to allow the pistons to slide. Since the laser-cut parts are too rough around the edges and would require extensive sanding, we decided to cut up a soda bottle and use that as a a smooth interior for the piston head to slide up and down in.
