I would first like to thank my group who made this project a lot of fun. Specifically, I would like to mention Alan Brock for his organizational skills and motivation, Ethan Haynes for his manual labor and agreeability, and Kent Landrum for his artistic talent and originality. Special thanks goes to Robert James Bruce the Fourth, who is not even in the engineering program, for assisting us bring our design to life in the last day before the competition. Manuel Garza, the shop manager, did a wonderful job letting us use all of the powerful tools in his realm. I would also like to thank Dr. Collins, without whom I would not have had the chance to learn an important lesson about the engineering design process; his flexibility regarding the format of this report is also appreciated. Finally, I would like to thank my roommate, John, and my girlfriend, Stacy, without whose help I would not have been able to get this page up and running.
