 ;Notes/Helpful Advice
-: The water jet's tolerancing isn't perfect, so when designing puzzle fits, add a tolerance of around 0.007 inches to both sides in order to ensure that the pieces fit together easily. This will save a good amount of time because you won't need to file the pieces to make them fit together.

 : When starting your CAD, link an excel file to your parts and use the excel file to create parameters that you use as dimensions. This will allow you to go change the parameter value in excel, which will then update all CAD parts that use that parameter. This will save you from having to go in and change that value on every CAD part when you just simply want to change the overall length of your robot. Instead, you just have to change the one number in : excel and everything will update for you. This will save you a lot of time when playing around will the sizing of your different parts in the future.

		+	: When making the pully, we made soft jaws matching the spline in order to properly clamp the pulley once the spline on one side has been made. This also ensured that the spline on both sides of the pulley were properly aligned.
		+	: If you're planning on using the EDM to cut something, get in contact with Jason Barnes very early to ensure that you have enough time. There can be a very long delay on getting stuff cut due to the EDM being owned by a research group that just allows us to use it.

 Welcome to the Mandiv Design Guide!
 Mandiv is the fourth iteration of Mandi, a 120 pound drum spinner created by RoboJackets.
-The purpose of this guide is to explain all of the reasoning behind the design decisions during the creation of Mandiv. This guide will go in depth on why certain designs were chosen as well as explaining some of the calculations used to support those decisions.
