I would love some feedback on this idea, so feel free to post your thoughts.

Sounds like a great idea. Feel free to contact me for support for things mechanical related. I also can provide some good insight on CAD and overall team structure.

And by I, I really mean myself and the other group of mentors I work with on a normal almost daily basis year round.
