Mechanical 200 (Contributor)

Prereqs: Mechanical 100.

Required reading

• Mechanical standards and drivetrain module pages.

Tasks

• Design/update a mechanism in CAD with proper hardware/tolerances.
• Build and test a mechanism; record failures and fixes.

Sign-off

• Mentor checks CAD pack (BOM/drawings) and a passed test checklist.

Best practices

• Include tensioning and access in CAD; verify tool clearance.
• Test beyond match duration; log failures.

Common mistakes

• Missing tolerances; no tensioning; untested changes.

Checklist

• CAD pack ready (BOM/drawings) with access/tensioning
• Mechanism built and tested
• Failures/fixes logged

Evidence to attach

• CAD pack (BOM/drawings/exports)
• Test results and failure/fix notes
• Photos/videos of mechanism
