What I Did

I designed and made the box including the acrylic top that holds everything together and the base plate that the base sits on.It was a lot of coordination with all my other groupmates to make sure everything fit inside the box and that the pockets in the bottom of the box fit everything. Box Fitting  Base Plate To make sure everything fit in the pockets I had to measure everthing out, I messed up on the sizing of the pocket the holds the pedestal for the main motor so I had to chisel it to make it slightly bigger.
