Day 15 – Robotics Arm Project
Time Worked: 2.5 hours
Today I finalized the bill of materials (BOM) for my robotic arm project and confirmed that all of the required components had been selected. I replaced several Amazon.com items with Amazon.ca alternatives to reduce shipping costs and added a 5x20mm inline fuse kit to protect the ESP32. I also verified that my selected wire and MG90S servos matched my design requirements, so no CAD changes are needed. By the end of the session, the project cost was estimated at $257.10 CAD, and the planning stage was essentially complete.
Next Steps:
-
Make the final CAD improvements.
-
Apply for the project grant.
-
Order the parts once funding is approved.
-
Begin the physical build after the parts arrive.

@shashvat do you know where to apply for funding, when i try to it keeps asking me for a demo video
Hey Jake, you can’t really apply for funding right now because they’re currently updating the process. They said all the existing funding application methods are outdated and they’ll release new information on how to apply soon. For now, you’ll have to wait. I suggest keeping an eye on Slack because they mentioned that the earliest they’ll post the new funding application process is this Monday.
@shashvat ok thankyou
