Week 11: Exciting Findings

The biggest development this week was finding out just how small some of our parts were. It was a definite concern for us that, if the parts we ordered turned out to not really work with the dimensions we needed, we would have to reorder and wait for everything to show up again. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the motors, but even more so by the Zener diodes, which were much smaller than we anticipated. This helps us because with our size restrictions limited to the size of a standard phone case without becoming cumbersome, the smaller the parts, the better. The challenge of it is being able to assemble it all without breaking anything.
