2019 Build - Days 4 and 5: In which some prototypes are made

We continued work on building the HAB platforms the last couple of days, and we’re pretty much done and almost ready for sending some kind of robot on them for docking!

Also, inspired by this post by Spectrum 3847 , we used our CNC to cut out some ball sizing rings too. They’ve been incredibly helpful to make sure we can handle all potential sizes of the cargo. Speaking of which, we started prototyping some ideas for intakes, including a wheeled intake. Up next, refining the intake, figuring out how best to grab the hatch covers, and prototyping the elevator system we are planning on.
