We finally got all the material to put the legs of prototype 1 together and got to assembling but came across some unexpected issues a long to way. The use of deep-groove bearings was not applied correctly in parts that requires rotation as there is still not enough clearance between the pieces to rotate smoothly. As such we have to explore other options and ways to make the bearings work.

The size of the nuts that came with the M8 screws purchased previously was also too big for the nut grooves placed in the parts, so it requires amendments. We also decided to combine the servo housing with the motor housing leg pieces together, and turned the ap from the servo housing to be fully 3d printed instead of using aluminum profiles.

Additionally, a 3D printed mold was done to assist in the making of the seed pods and provide a consistent round shape of ~3.5cm
