Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Invididual part analyses complete
Prototype designs in progress (pNewmatic, removed-sliding-parts model)
Testing rig designs in progress
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Completion of individual part analyses
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Rough draft of Project Report (all members--will divide roles)
Design, CAD for cycle test rig (Steven)
Design, CAD for pnewmatic (Sean, Mike)
Design for thermo-test rig; set up workstation (Alex, Tai)

Eliminate sliding parts, rely on linear movement for rotation (Delta is currently using ceramic bearings but would like to lose them if possible)
Consider using spring steel
Look at Delta's new design (They made improvements over the break)
Does air pressure provide enough force to move each puck individually?
Risks and Areas of Concern
Need to continue verifying possibility of pneumatic system--want to avoid spending on prototype?
Time crunch/ordering parts
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Analysis required--air pressure needed for pnewmatic prototype
Schedule
