January, 2021

In January, we improved the scissor arm by making it smaller and lighter. By doing so, the arm is more practical and easy to control. We also made the screw holes smaller so they would fit better and the arm would be more sturdy.

We were able to work together in class at the end of January. When we were together, we focused on our overall organization. The different groups, including financial, technical, communication, research, and sustainability, have been working together either in person or on zoom to straighten everything out before we dive into making more progress on the arm. We are also beginning to prepare for the Mid-Grant technical review, which will occur on February 26 at 6:30 pm ET. Everyone is welcome to join us for this event, and we will keep you updated on our Instagram (@bsminventeam) and blog.
