Finalize design - Sina
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Sponsor suggested changing optics system but concluded that it was not better design than current
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
One student suggested using a polaroid cube camera (5/5/15, in person) however we don't think it would be compatible with our micro controller.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Fabrication time; time necessary to fabricate body and assemble it
Slipping; Addressing with tracer wheel
Major concern is being able to take pictures fast enough
Schedule
Assemble final prototype (Next Friday, 5/22/15)
Tracer wheel assembled (Early next week)
Programming camera to take pictures completed (Next Friday, 5/22/15)
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Spent: $1,760.21
Amount Remaining: $6,239.79
