I must say, though, that it surprised me how much time it took to design the translational drive - we've never done it before. Usually we've got a drive system built and tested by now, and it's kind of scary. But we've got TONS of freshman on our team this year and they all want a part of machining, so labor is not a big problem. I was amazed at how quickly the plates were churned out by the 10 people bandsawing, drilling, more bandsawing, grinding and wirebrushing. and you can't ever forget the filing!!!
it was nifty
