The project officially has an approved fabrication part: a 3D printed connector of the motor to mallet (see Figure 1). This part is authentically created by the team through SolidWorks. It's still in the process of Drexel 3D printing. There have been improvements to the final machine sketches. Since, there are more than one sketches, a few of the parts will have their own sketch (e.g. skeleton). Holes in the hands of the cat were cut to let the mallets in (see Figure 2). Immediately, the group realized that the mallets had a tendency to move around. The skeleton, which would hold all the parts in the cat, have also been 3D modeled in SolidWorks (see Figure 3). And lastly, a schedule was made for the next two weeks, so that the project progresses in a timely manner. At the same time of all of this, it was time to think about to put all the parts in the cat. Several ideas came up and are mentioned in week 7 update.
