Thrust Stand Development
In consultation with Thomas and Alperen, I would like to start the discussion about a retroactive grant for the development of the thrust test bench.
The development of the test bench took place outside of my actual duties, and I have not yet completed any reimbursements for components. However, part of the work took place during the time designated for Arrow as part of the commitment track.
Since the test bench was shipped to the US and is a great help in terms of troubleshooting and system testing, I would like to ask for reimbursement of the costs and compensation for my additional work.
The past discussion about the thrust stand happened in the Discord forum:Discord
Please let me know what you think.

Requested pay calculation
Parts cost:
- steel beams - 95,50 €
- 90° angles for the steel frame and large washers - 153,84 €
- laser cutted steel parts - 144,86 €
- 2x SBR20 linear guide - 30,25 €
- 6x HX711 load cell IC - 6,87 €
- 2x 100kg load cell - 58,00 €
- 4x 50kg load cell - 57,93 €

Total parts cost in Euro: 1021,28€
Total parts cost in USDC (04.09.24): 1130,27 USDC
For the additional work i would like to request another $500,00 USDC (20% of the $500 USDC in $ARROW token)
→ $400 USDC
→ $100/0.3*1.5 = 500 $ARROW
In total:
$1130,27 + $400,00 = $1530,27 USDC
and 500 $ARROW
