Lawrence Sass's "Plane Objectives"
Rhino - clasps
We cut down from 25 hours total to 8 by reducing the amount of corners.
Small Blocks
Big Blocks
We made both small (4 cm wide) cubes, and big ones (up to 20 cm). We were convinced that the machines would only be able to hold the small ones, and made the big ones just to try out "Plane Objectives".

Assembling
Each side on every piece is labled with a number identical to another piece
Burning holes in the syringe pumps
Laser cutting
3D Printing clasps
Luckily we were wrong and the big versions were better suited for the machines. The smaller ones were promoted to a much more important job.
Long hours led to serious obstacles

Robotic Arms
Final Thoughts:
We should have done a larger and heavier base that would support all the weight of the arms. Also, for easier control of the machines, we should have made a larger control panel and used bigger syringes which would allow for more motion.
The "finger" could have benefitted from being made of a stronger material than a wooden skewer, and perhaps its joins could have allowed for a wider range of motion for more control.
