Completed

Design

• Added design pictures to the "Overall Concept" and the "Design Info" section
• Added links for fonts, videos, and bling to the "Design Info" section
• Brought over 2025 files to 2026: Laptop holder, Controller holder, Ethernet, Bottom, Lid, Controller, Laptop, Magnet
• Finalized design concept
• Magnet mock up (lid)
• Determined overall size (23" by 13.75" without handle)
• Added leather, magnets, sliding tape, power strip, handle, rivets, buckle strap, and bag to shopping list
• Determined that latch is bling only and not functional
• Researched Thingaverse bones for 3-D printing
• Created a to scale lid on paper
• Added LCD to shopping list

CAD

• Fixed the 'G' in Rolling Thunder
• Added dinosaur footprints into bottom end
• Look at end
• Added holes for magnets and studs in the top
• Added holes for angle supports; in supports and bottom
• LCD: opening in bottom and PEM holes for mounting

CAD: LCD, opening in bottom and PEM holes for mounting (NOTE: will create 'cage' around LCD) confirmed steel for magnets on top will clear end finished remaining fillets on letters added notches to angle pieces, so we can bend down later to help with lid insertion made laptop holder mounting holes slightly bigger, to match other parts determined controller holder placement and mounting; updated CAD for new mounting (NOTE: two holes in bottom do NOT get PEMs, like last year, see mini assembly) change 'DIVE' to '1511' on laptop holder (just for now, incase we don't have time to work on it) assigned part numbers for all our items and updated the names in OnShape to match created drawings for Bottom and Power/Ethernet; create STEP of bottom CAD Assembly

• Constrained magnets in assembly and notched end angle support
• Created mini CAD assemblies, because we will need those for Harris Shop; included PEMs
