6/16/22 - 6/23/22 Trailer Building

 After receiving our WAM-V, the team needed to build a trailer that could transport the WAM-V. 

We researched what other RobotX teams have used for transporting their WAM-V Michigan RobotX Team video Notice that the pontoon is deflated in this scenario
Pictures from the RobotX Forum post showing what the trailers at competition look like.
	Using ¾ inch wooden boards we created stencils to prototype the angled supports
	This picture was taken when our team went to visit the WAM-V company.
	Screws we planed to used for the trailer: Hex Head Screws for Wood Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel, 1/2" Size, 2-1/2" Long here  Hex Head Screws for Wood Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel, 1/4" Size, 2-1/2" Long here 1/4 X 2-1/2 LAG BOLT GALVANIZED here
	We drove lag screws through marine grade timber to provide means to attach the planks to the trailer and 90-degree mounting brackets. We cut sheets of the carpet using an Xacto knife and stapled it into marine grade timber, leaving room for metal mounts.
	Width between the outsides of the wooden supports is 62” horizontally by design, while the WAM-V is 63” wide between the pontoons. The WAM-V fit snugly when the carpet added additional thickness to the planks. We also added a winch to the front of the trailer, to make the process of loading and unloading the boat from the trailer easier.
