Week 12 - Mechanical Design (Machine Week - Part 1)#

Week 12 focused on mechanical design, specifically designing mechanisms and mechanical systems as part of the machine building project.
The aim was to understand mechanism design, motion systems, and structural considerations for machine building.

This is the first part of the two-week machine design project.

Group Assignment#
