Matt was going to remount the back plate and gimbal using the JB Weld but after discussing what happened to the joints with Dr. B, he decided to drill and tap holes instead. We also decided to make the cover and back plate one piece instead of two; we also made a front plate. Dr. B found a piece of sheet metal for the cover. Matt marked and measured the metal to be cut to the proper length.
Mike missed class.
I,Patrick, cut mounts for the GPS antenna and compass since the chassis was interfering with them. I marked and measured the cover/back plate and front plate to be cut and bent by Dr. B. I then made a battery cover since the terminals would touch the cover. I had to make it the height of the gimbal platform since that was higher than the battery. To get rid of sharp corners made chamfers on the battery cover. I then drilled and tapped holes in the side rails to keep the cover in place and mount the front plate.
