This week we received our new servo and tested it out. It fixed all the problems we had with our last servo and it could rotate to fixed degrees so that was one problem we had solved. In addition it was rated stronger so it could handle the loads we needed. So with that we are back on schedule now and we are projected to finish on time.
One small risk we have identified is whether our base will have enough strength to support the clothing on top of it. However, we bought thicker wood to add more strength. In addition we are trying to add weights to the base to make it more sturdy. We believe this will be enough to compensate for this. If not we can add a larger base to the bottom of the stand in order to be able to handle all the weight.
