Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Completed dynamic analysis of bunny hop
Focusing on “bunny hop” as preliminary design – will move onto complete ollie afterwards
Have not purchased parts
Have not begun fabrication
Have not begun testing
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Working models completed
Completed dynamic analysis for “bunny hop”
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Budget money between two robots
Individual component analysis
Pick parts
Purchase parts
Design latch
Determine state standards for high school physics and how they will be met
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
12/5/12 - Meeting with De Callafon (in person)
Good progress on working model
Provide more detail on what properties we have, need, and want
Have basic equations – showed De Callafon
Should run basic equations in Matlab to get plots to determine spring constants, masses, and potential height.
12/5/12 – Meeting with Dan Rupert (in person)
Make it simple and fun – easy to analyze, easy to model
Make it customizable for kids – let them be able to change masses and springs to determine height.
Let them do the math and then bring them outside to check it
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Check out Exploratorium – Delson will send email containing link
Want to teach scientific method – See ho change of variables affects systems
Keep everyone involved – Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
Contact Dan Rupert at Preuss School before quarter ends to determine what needs to be accomplished
Play with power density (power per weight) – Difference in acceleration due to different weights
Look into using springs – have to deal with who / what will compress spring before each trial
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
“Ollie seems difficult to perform due to weight and complexity of parts so make sure you allocate enough time for testing” – Jeffrey Yu 12/11/12
“What materials will be used?” – Ryan Atterbury 12/11/12
“What order of magnitude do the springs need?” – Daniel Centero 12/11/12
