Open Capitalist

This is the subproject for the mechanical aspects of the pick-and-place machine.  I have very little details thus far as this is the portion of the project that needs the most work.  I will update this with the design files of what I have so far after I figure out how to upload.

The design is largely exactly what you would expect.  Belt drive, cheap linear rails and pillow blocks.  The idea is to make it as light as possible.  Stiffness really isn't that big of a concern for this as the only important time is during picking and placing.  During this time the machine is hardly moving, mass is low enough that oscillations should be minimal.

If this is your forte please let me know, I can use the help.
