Small design changes to MCM

Today we had a team meeting to discuss MS6. We decided on making several small design changes to our MCM. One of these changes that was brought up by Mark was to add another bearing on the other side of the pinion for more support against a radial load.

We also made another small change to the track that the main arm follows because the old design would be very difficult to manufacture given our tools and machine access. Basically, instead of making the track from a single piece of aluminum, we are going to cut 3 pieces and then screw them together.
