Last week we presented again on the status of our project. We believe the presentation went well and announced that we are looking into beginning manufacturing. At this time, we have a running dialogue with Kearny Foundry about casting some newly designed brackets. At this time they have asked for a few more details from us before they can give us a quote. They also informed us that any final machine work would have to be done elsewhere.

We are also trying to get some work done at Vanderbend. At this time, we are coordinating with the Fabrication Team, and Full Scale Team to get a time to meet with the staff of Vanderbend. We have also been informed there is another senior project in the Industrial Studies department that would like to meet with Vanderbend for production.

We are creating a bill of materials to get our budget approved. It is still a work in progress to get in contact with manufacturers. Below you can see what we know so far. This will be further refined prior to submission.
