So I had an idea that we'll need to test in terms of agitators...the KOP fans with 2 or 3 of the blades cut off...

This week has been both good and bad. We haven't been able to work because of snow days, but really we would have been waiting anyway. We need to get a purchase order in to Andy Mark, and due to snow haven't been able to do any ordering. Now our shipping costs will go way up, but that is the price you pay.

The designs are almost completely finalized. We really have some tips and tails stuff with the drawing, but all of the kinematics have been worked out for everything except for the flopper for pushing down the bridge.

now of course we worry...is it wide enough? Is it strong enough? Is it accurate enough? Will it really be able to drive over the bridge?

Oh...the stress!
