## What's the Deal with Domes?
Inspired by [Jake, Sara and Agnes' dodecadome](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/dodecadome) for 99F, we decided to build a new one for the first outdoors 99F. Also because that outdoor feature, we decided to go bigger in size.

## Designing the Dome
The dome was designed for robustness: it was stress test to ensure multiple drunk people to could climb on it safely (although this behavior was discouraged at the party).

Most [geodesic domes are designed to](http://www.domerama.com/dome-basics/odd-frequency-geodesic-domes-and-flat-base-at-the-hemisphere/) have a flat base by using a perfect hemisphere. This one was designed to have an additional layer of triangles below the halfway point, giving it a more upright form.

The final design was a 2V dome, 3.1 meters tall and 4.3 meters in diameter.

## Fabricating the Dome
We cut the hub components on the Fab Light

and folded them (18 degrees!) on the handbrake.

Then we cut the 2x4's down to size, and pre-drilled them with a 3D printed component.
