Our most critical module is a worm gear used to rotate the scoop. We've decided to buy the worm and spur gear from SDP-SI. Everything else will be manufactured from parts in our kit for this module (the aluminum plates, rod, square tube stock, planetary gearbox).
We will have to buy additional parts for the rest of our machine, specifically the arm. We're thinking of using a high carbon steel as the material. We also still have to find a way to mount our worm gear to the motor, but this will have to wait until we receive the parts. Once we get them, we can figure out the best way to attach everything together.
