Plan

This week, I will create CAD for the servo-mallet system prototypes I will be making.

Procedures

I used Fusion360 and the parts which arrived from Amazon to come up with an initial CAD design for the servo-mallet system. 

Progress

The mallets, zip ties, and xylophone arrived through Amazon as pictured above. 

I finished an initial CAD design showing how I will use the mallet, a servo, and zip tie to create a servo-mallet system to strike a xylophone key. 

Problems

I will need to begin testing out the prototype by 3D printing the body (in green). By testing out the initial design, I will be able to make adjustments and changes as necessary to improve the servo-mallet system.
