WEEK 6.2: PLANNING OUT THE CONTRUCTION

Now that all of the materials have been purchased, we need to create a detailed outline of how the parts will fit in together. The idea is to create a shelving system that will hold the different parts on different levels in order to utilize the downward force of gravity which will help with the flow of water down the tubes. Using Creo Parametric, we were able to make a model and plan of our assembly as seen in Figure 1. Our next step will be to meet up in lab in order to finalize the layout and possibly start construction.
