MP1 Update

Marking Period 1 entails my research into my background, alternate solutions, final solutions, testing procedures, models, and developmental work. As I proceed into Marking Period 2 I will finish developmental work and continue to finalize my drawings and begin to order parts.

Currently I am in the middle of my plan of procedures that consists of the bill of materials and assembly. I will have to finalize this before I complete my exploded drawings.
