Lately:

As we are learning more within our design process, we have started finalizing our idea of our final prototype. After deciding we wanted to work with the Camshaft idea, we narrowed down and decided we wanted to make an upside down CamShaft that connects to the socket of a prosthesis. Camshafts can be hard to work with in our situation because the CamShaft might not being long enough to reach the bike’s pedals. So, we thought of using an egg-shaped object at the bottom that could potentially fix this problem because if the object attached was a perfect circle, then it would not function properly. It wouldn’t touch the pedal at all times due to its shape which is a problem since it interferes with our design goals. We are now 3D designing on Tinkercad so that we can eventually print our 3D model by the end of the month!
