Motion Module - Final Iteration

So, we are finally done with the motion module chomper. Due to my partner's awesomeness at computers making the iteration was fast and painless. We changed the size of the bushings and the offset circle from a 6.26 mm hole to a 6.2 mm hole which worked wonders. The washer/bushings and the offset circle no longer slip on the rod and stay in place so that the circle efficiently pushes the arm up. We did not change the size of the arm because while the arm was designated as a tight fit piece it doesn't have to function as a tight fit piece. It just has to move freely about the rod in order to move up and down. Since we tightened the bushings around the arm, it stays in place and functions just fine as the arm. The motion module looks the same as it did before the iterations, the holes around the rod are just slightly smaller. On to the next project!
