                                         Mechanical analysis of Prototype 6.0.

               The yield stress of Prototype 7.0 was determined to be 393.3 MPa (Fig. 13.32), which
               is much higher than the acceptable stress we defined previously at 49.7 MPa.
               Therefore Prototype 7.0 will not fail under stress delivered by the motor system of the
