[x] Devise a shock-absorbing system for holding the vacuum pump to the frame
[x] Source shock absorber mounts and other shock-absorbing material (Felix)
[x] Model all parts in Cubify.
[x] Create a simple plate that can be laser-cut from acrylic or steel, that holds the pump to the machine's top plate.
[x] Make Cubify assembly. Add vacuum pump, shock absorbers, mounting plate, and all hardware.
[ ] Make a prototype using the laser cutter at HAX
[ ] Send out the final prototype to be made from laser-cut steel and/or aluminum, and get the piece optionally finished.
[ ] Perform tests with accelerometer to see how well the vibration damping works. Tune if necessary.
Solenoid Mounting and Wiring
[x] Devise a method of mounting the solenoids (4x 2-way, 5V type). We do not want to mount them to the vacuum pump because that plate will vibrate. Instead, we need to mount them to somewhere on the frame.
[x] Create an assembly in Cubify. Add all parts.
[ ] Finalize wiring layout and all air fittings that need to be purchased
[ ] Source all parts (Felix)
[ ] Make a prototype using the laser cutter at HAX
