(* A bonus challenge: The Web (part 02) and the Balance Weight (part 10) can be combined into a single steel piece (the stock is 1/4" thick 303 stainless). To take part in this challenge, you must show your TA an engineering drawing of your redesign which clearly shows the center of mass and a comparison with the original design.)
