Major accomplishments since last report:

Most of the parts have arrived and assembly of our machine is progressing nicely. The documentation/report is coming along slowly but surely.

Major problems since last report:

The "J-Clip" is out 4 weeks in some sort of red tape the company is having so we're having to proceed without the clip and just hope that the dimensions given are close.  The group is having problems with meetings.  Jeff's grandfather was very ill so he couldn't make our last meeting which was based on his design.  This backed us up a little bit but Aaron and I brought ourselves up to speed and ordered the parts anyway.  I would like to spend more time working on the project but I have my own duties at work and I am trying to help Chip and his group organize their fabrication.  It will all work out though.
 

Objectives for next week:

Finish mounting cylinders and continue fabrication of the table.
