Fabrication

With the design of the project complete, all materials from the Total BOM were purchased to begin fabrication. Each of the five members focused on a single aspect of the project. These five aspects were control, power, navigation, air flow, and object manipulation. In the Subsystem Fabrication, each of these were created individually and tested individually. Once the individual testing was complete, the systems were combined piece by piece in the Integrated System Fabrication. Initially just the air air flow, power, and control system were combined. Once these were mostly working, the object manipulation system was integrated into the build. Extensive testing was done at this point to optimize the performance of the robot through various means. Finally, the navigation system was incorporated into the build to create the final product in Final Fabrication.
