During this week, our team continued working on the support sections. Bryan is now comfortable with the welder, so he managed to complete all the bottom sections of the supports. In the meantime, Kevin and I used this opportunity to cement three bottom sections, shown in Figure 1.

In addition to the support sections, our team also attempted to create a curved section with the benders in the shop. Much to our dismay, the bends that we were getting were not concentric. Furthermore, the aluminum curves were also twisting, so the rails were not parallel. Therefore, we all agreed to explore other bending methods in the coming weeks.
