I did not come up with this on my own, in fact I just copied and pasted the vast majority from the mech leads design sprint. So huge shoutout to Aidan Lehal, Min Qian Lu, Kevin Bui, and Emily Guo!!! They did an amazing job getting this together, I only made a couple changes to help make the process a bit smoother.

The review sessions will be held to share ideas, get feedback, and inspire your teammates! The following deliverables should be presented in a Slide Deck**
TO BE COMPLETED FOR FEB 12: 3 Concepts sketches with details labelled and OTS parts (not specifics)
TO BE COMPLETED FOR FEB 19: Force and kinematic geometric calculations complete for one design.
TO BE COMPLETED FOR FEB 26: Detailed design (CAD) of one sketch with refined OTS parts and material selection.
TO BE COMPLETED FOR MAR 05: Manufacturing methods and some FEA on the Bellcrank and Bellcrank Clevis.
**it is recommended to keep a design log (in google slides format) throughout this project of all decisions/choices made, the log will make finding the content to present easier come review day!
