Week 6 update (2 of 2) : Hard Drive Failure and Final Parts List

This past Sunday, the team member responsible for creating the CAD replication woke up to a hard drive failure. After spending the better part of their Sunday trying to recover his hard drive, the team determined that all of the virtual part and assembly files he worked on for 4 hours are completely irrecoverable. The only proof that these files ever existed are the two screen-shots posted in Week 6 Update (1 of 2). Plans have already been put into motion to recreate these files. 

Worse yet, the owner of the failed hard drive has lost all of his work from this term and has to spend another $70 to replace his failed hard drive.

On the subject of money, the team drafted and ordered supplies from the final supply list. Each of the components, their manufacturer, model number, and price can be viewed in the Table below.  Once the parts arrive on Wednesday, May 15, the tongue component of the device will be assembled.
