The Build: Materials

The last few weeks, this week, and next week, I am preparing for Winter Break. Over Winter Break is when I will start building the mechanism and the arm itself. Last week I was getting organized with what I would need, including figuring out how much metal I will need, and how thick the metal should be. This week, I have purchased some of the materials that I need and I know where I can purchase the other materials and am ready to buy them as soon as I can.  Currently I have purchased the design that I will use for the shell, and a pair of gloves needed for the shell as well. The materials I have not purchased yet are the metal sheets for the shell, and other metal parts, an electric vacuum, and a battery all for the actual mechanism. These parts, however, I know where I can purchase them, and will likely do it this weekend.
