We have an opportunity to achieve something of great significance in this, our final year together. Something on the scale of the 2015 TEI4M 50th Anniversary Clock, 2015 ICS3U Gecko, and 2019 ICS4U Desktop Fan.

For the first time in ACES history we have the opportunity to expand our design skills in the direction of CNC Milling through collaboration with Argon Prototypes, a company founded by Mariano (ACES '15, Queen's Eng. 20) and Emilio Elia (UCC '17, St. Andrew's '21).

Here's what we would need to achieve,

• (Design) Two of you willing to step up (big time) to the Fusion 360 CAD table: for the case
• (Hardware) Two of you wishing to advance your EAGLE skills by developing, debugging, and populating the PCB mainboard...
• (Electrical) Two electrical enthusiasts interested in designing, and testing the power supply, controls, timekeeping. etc....
• (Software) Two AVR (Assembly?) enthusiasts willing to, possibly, adapt this code AVR Assembly for Atomic CLock for our application
