Weekly Log January 8

Yesterday, Amy and I had a conversation to make some slight changes in our skeletal design. we decided to use fittings rather than drilling directly into the PVC pipe. This will help to keep the structural integrity of the pipes. For the central pipe that needs to reach from the container to the bottom of the hull, we will drill a hole in the middle 4 way fitting. This pipe needs to hold all the sensors, so it does not have to be as thick as the other pipes. We will use all other pipes with a 2" diameter and give the central pipe a 1" diameter. This will also help keep the integrity of the fitting by drilling a smaller hole. Today, I will put some finishing touches on my orthographic view. Mostly, this involves a magnified exploded view of the central fitting.
