Late at Night, Still Going

So I got the 3d printed part for our project earlier today. The dimensions seemed to be a little off but nothing a little shaving and gorilla glue on the motor to connect the it couldn't fix. I tried the servo motor but it seems that it only turns 180 degrees which is not nearly enough for the size of our bridge. So back to the dc motor it was, but the problem with that now was that the connecting wires of the motor snapped. Both of them. Luckily I had a soldering iron and was able to put them back together which put us back in business. The motor isn't puling the bridge right now, since it lacks torque, but I put the final touches on the project and will see how it goes tomorrow at the expo!
