156B Week 6
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Fabrication
Began welding frame components. It's 50% done. Estimated welding completion: 5/12
Proof of Concept completed
Water brake components began fabrication 5/7
Driveline fabrication to begin 5/13
Design
Water brake and driveline design finalized
RPM (for dyno), temperature thermistors, and E-stop chosen and bought
water system circuit complete- purchased fittings on 5/9
Testing
myRIO Daq setup to be completed by end of Week 7;
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished myRIO Proof of Concept (Chinaar)
50% complete welding (Luke)
Finished choosing all the fittings for water system (Cassandra)
Finalized water brake design (Justin)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Get working myRIO with temperature, RPM, load cell sensors (Chinaar)
Complete welding of frame (Luke)
Assemble water brake once all the fittings and tubing comes in (Cassandra)
Finish manufacture of water brake (Justin)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Proof of Concept Presentation: 5/3 in person meeting
make sure to include all parts of presentations in the report
explain the substituted potentiometers for sensors in Proof of Concept
make sure all information is in metric units
discuss thermal well effect of thermistors in report
draft up manual for calibration of the load cell for the Triton Racing team
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
waiting for responses from Proof-of-Concept presentation to hear what classmates have to say in regards to our project
Risks and Areas of Concern
Risk: Water system proof of concept should be completed prior to final assembly (end of week 8)
Resources or Information Required but not Available
More money to buy an additional RPM sensor for the dyno
team can integrate this sensor later on. Team was able to find out the correct gearing ratio out of the transmission
Schedule
Complete Welding of Frame by 5/12
Demo of working system and validation 5/22
Completed fabrication 5/21
Preliminary Design Review: 5/24
Assembly of Full system 5/28
Final Design Review 6/7
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Progress on Report and Webpage
