WOOD BRIDGE - allowing Belt B standoffs to tilt. #10

The plywood bridge is being crushed when tension is applied to the B Belt, allowing the standoff to tilt so much that the belt is running off the pulley when the carriage moves in the X-direction.

3/3 - Two ideas for addressing. Idea 1 - Build an aluminum bridge, if we can put both the "new and old" standoff locations. Idea 2 - Make small end-pieces for the bridge where the pullets are fastened and hook it to the wooden bridge (in some manner). Challenge with both is getting it fabbed quickly. #2 may be able to be hand-built. #1 needs to be coordinated with the metal shop.

I have created a temporary bridge that we can use until we get an aluminum proto manufactured. I followed idea #2 above.
