(2/12/12-2/17/12)
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Test, etc
Fabricated 1/2 model
Presented to the class with Dynamic sequence testing
Static test sequence is in progress; however, we used an open loop control which will be changed to closed loop for the final design
Finished the 1st draft of the report
Goals for next week
Finish detailed designing
Finish up CADing using SolidWorks
Perform Finite Element analysis
Purchase materials
Figure out what we could do to connect the cables
Update the website
Post pictures and videos that will show the intermediate milestones
Instructor comments from last meeting and actions taken
Simulation
Came up with simulation for Proof of Concept model
Simulation and experimental result matched
Verified our simulation for the final design
Risks and areas of concern
Wiring method
Motor that we have acquired has very short cables
Need to be longer to be able to connect to the driver/controller
Cutting the wire is an option
Tedious and might cause us longer time to debug
Purchasing cable extension
Need more information
Schedule
Purchase materials
Sheets of Aluminum (6061 T6)
1" steel rod
Bearings
Start working on the 2nd draft of the report
Keep working on the website
Budget
Risk Reduction and scale model: $215.20
Remaining: $3284.80
Progress
Working on our CAD files
Updating weekly reports
