This week was a lot of house keeping for the 2 axis stage project. I started the make machining drawings for all of the parts that it needs, as the plan is to start machining after we get back from winter break. This week I also started to work on the coupler that connects the motor to the micrometer, which is pretty boring as its just fiddling with numbers till it fits both.

We specifically want to know how the shape of the Electromagnetic Field generated effects the probability of sucess for each spot on the chip. I am not an expert on this in the slightest, although I do find it pretty cool, however I am pretty good at mechanical engineering for a Highschooler, so my job at the moment is to make a stepper motor controlled XY stage.
