Re: 2337 hung-2959 suspended

Picures were up in the gallery. Thank you to Daniel Ernst for the pictures!

The awesome part of our design is that we went though stress analysis on our hanger, and even if we had missed a hook, we still could have held one robot. The sections that were cut out of our hooks we also did stress analysis on, and realized we had no stress on those places. Even the hook we have now is more then we need, but we keep on what we have just to be safe.
