NOT FINAL - Conveyor Section

                  - Pitch Diameter: 2.875in

                  - Center Line Distance: 12.75in

                  - Belt length: 34.5in (McMaster Carr Number: 6190k44 (3L 345))

• Completed rough out of the overall frame in Inventor.
• Added video to sumgmug of final prototype testing under ... picking and delivery mechanism appear will work well in prototype .http://rollingthunder.smugmug.com/gallery/7097932_mNF5Z#455016336_4fBjL
• Performed drive torque test on prototype in lab. Results were it requires approximately 15 in pounds to drive the v-belts of our cured prototype with a huge amount of frictional resistance with steel shafts running on wood holes with very crude alignment.
