Task Description
Design a fixture that mounts to the lip of the industrial drum that is inside the Bay. This is to test that the new angled landing gear works as intended.
Link to the current drum we have: Steel Drum with Lid - 55 Gallon, Open Top, Unlined, Black S-10758 - Uline
Link to the drum at competition: EarthMinded 55 Gal. Open Top Plastic Industrial Drum with Lid and Lock-band -Off-color PFR55-OC - The Home Depot
What we really care about is the inner diameter of the drum, which is missing from any documentation, however we have measured a similar drum to have an ID of 20.5 inches
