Great week! We developed the most form-from-function hoop-tightening mechanism, which I feel really good about. It’s funny - as soon as I drew it out, I saw examples of the fundamental principle being used out in the yard no fewer than 6 times. Will bang out a quick prototype asap. Also continued to work out a few bugs that contribute to simulation instability, and I think we’re all done there. Saw the finished versions of the official patent drawings, which look absolutely fantastic.
