Step 17Make it Big

Make it Big
The test rig is meant to be scalable.  All that you should need is longer strips of wood for the two tracks.  However, once I started looking at longer strips of wood, I got worried that the wood would bow out and the whole thing would fall on my head.  So I hit the Home Depot to look for something else I could use.

I found some J-channel in the drywall section.  It looks like it is made out of bent sheet metal.  It is just strong enough and comes in 10foot lengths (2$ for 10ft).

For the first large scale setup I am working in a large doorway.  It is about 5feet wide and happens to be right next to where I have been working.

So it is time to get to work!

The next few slides will show the build process for the larger setup.

Here is an image of what we are working towards.
