Team 2 Weekly Progress Report-Week 2
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Currently designing three separate models of carts. Fabrication will occur once designs are finalized
Analysis of collected data to determine necessary torque to overcome sludge is being finalized
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished preliminary-Solidworks CAD of three separate cart designs to determine most useful for project solutions
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finalize 3 CAD models, making them as in depth as possible
Discuss designs with sponsor
Begin ordering parts once designs are finalized
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Include sludge and lasser optical system on final CAD model: This week we decided to focus on the drivetrain for each cart, however, the design proposal next week will have the designs finalized with all components
Discuss high and low priority objectives: We looked again at our objects and we will focus on our main object of getting the cart through the bore effectively, however, we would also like to focus a good deal on getting the laser optics system level, our second objective.
Risks and Areas of Concern
One area of concern is effectively designing gear system for 4 wheel cart design
If HD 1080p video can be used for data collection--will discuss this option with our sponsor
Schedule
Will finalize cart designs and design proposal presentation
Will begin ordering parts as soon as designs are finalized
