What do we need to do to get to the prototype for demonstration?

The sequence proposed moving forward:

• Collect as many as possible dish data sheets with weight and mounting pattern to try to find commonalities (Done by Michelle)
• Purchase / "procure" a "2 meter" (6 foot) diameter dish for local development. (Done by Michelle)
• Pay for mechanical design of mount for common dish support maximum scope of commonly available dishes (Michelle)
• Fabrication / adjustment of mount locally. Hopefully it can be welded using alignment "tricks" to keep the bearings right.
• Attachment of actuators to axis (steppers / DC motors). Possible further mechanical design.
• Attachment of encoder system (James to lead)
• Drive / servo controller / motion control electronics (James to lead)
• Interfacing with existing control system (team)
