156A Week 9

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

  • Had first meeting with sponsor and discuses functional requirements of project along with background. As this was our first meeting there is no analysis to report about at this time. The design at this point look as though there will not be much if any fabrication. Ideally the design will be build from parts bought from websites provided by the sponsor. This is because the sponsor would like the project to be easily replicated by other researchers. There was been no testing at this point.
