Today we went to the metrology lab and dropped our 1 lb weight on a walnut from 1 ft above the walnut. The walnut cracked from which we determined that 1 lb at 1 ft of height is sufficient to crack a walnut. With the guidance of our TA, we determined that 3-4 in*lb of torque is the desired output of our motor. We found a motor of that description on Amazon and requested it on the Google spreadsheet.


All three of our group members were in attendance at today's meeting.Each team member has devoted 1.5 hours to the project today.
