Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
We currently have knowledge of the current design and now understand the flaws of it. We are looking into alternative motors to solve noise issues.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Met with Dr. Jules Jaffe next week to discuss preliminary designs and functional constraints.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Ask sponsor questions regarding individual components of the device.
Discuss budget for prototyping.
