Casing

Hi fellows, my name is Kelly,

I design the casing and all mechanical parts.
It's not as hard as the electronics, but hey, someone has to do it.
Here are some drawings and pictures of the casing.

Here is the base board,
The idea is that basically everything goes on the base board and the parachute and balloon is connected directly to the base board. So even if the box breaks, all the electronics will still be protected by the base board and the parachute.















Here are the pictures of the wooden box.
We chose 1/4 inch wood board because it's anti-static, non conductive, light, cheap and easy to work with. I say it's a pretty ideal material where strength is not an issue.
