Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Penguin prototype has been 3D printed
Car prototype is in the process of printing
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Full prototypes of Car and Penguin models were made
Suction cup has been placed on Penguin prototype for testing
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Ebrahim: Fix Car CAD to improve eating area, make space for suction cup
Emmanuel: Make the minor changes for Penguin, want to print next model (Penguin 3.0) hopefully during Week 6

Risks and Areas of Concern
Suction cup seal
Prevent rotation and sliding
Making lid 100% spill-proof
Currently, most of the edges on the lid-tray interface is spill proof, but certain spots leak water
Increase length of tabs
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Print newest revision of Penguin shape during Week 6
Update Gantt chart.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$698 remaining
Need to update with suction cup purchase, probably around $30
About 20 cubic inches left of 3D print material
Progress on Report and Webpage
1st Rough Draft completed
Main page of website has been updated with more pictures and annotated drawings
