Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
All comments made at Sponsor meeting 4/3
Meet with Spawar engineers for advice
Got contact info for engineers and will set up meeting for end of this week
Add springs to system to give robot an energy storing system
Creating new pumping design with new specifications from motors which will include springs
Keep robot manual unless time permits automating
Planning for robot to be controlled with remote
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
All comments made at Instructor Meeting 4/4
Create scope for project
Created complete scope for project and will pass it by sponsor at meeting 4/11
Create plan for rest of quarter
Created preliminary schedule
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
None
Risks and Areas of Concern
Pumping on robot not being powerful enough
Over-design pumping mechanism to allow robot to lift the maximum weight
Spinning 180* most difficult part
Design spinning mechanism along with pumping to ensure that designs work together
Allow the same time for both pumping and spinning design
Finish robot by 8th week to allow plenty of time for testing
Resources or Information Required but not Available
none
Schedule
Have finalized design by end of 4th week
Have all parts ordered by end of 4th week
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$0 spent this week
$4000 left
Progress on Report and Webpage
