EDITING IN PROGRESS
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Decided on design to pursue for prototype (See "April 24th sketch 2.pdf" attached to this page)
Buying parts necessary to build prototype
Working out details for motor control and power source
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Went into greater detail of design using drawings (See drawings attached to this page)
Acquired bearings and bought aluminum cylinders for prototyping
Decided to power the motor using 24 VDC power adapter to plug into wall
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Have a working prototype by Monday, 11:59 P.M., 05/01/17
Buy components necessary for prototyping, including but not limited to ...
24 VDC power adapter

Instructor Comments, In-Person Week 3 Meeting, 4 P.M., Thursday, 04/20/17
Cavi wipes are used for cleaning medical equipment, etc. May not react well with certain materials.
Your drawings are very valuable - put a date on them, use them in your presentation
Prefer another term over "chassis"
Team Actions
Confirmed with sponsor that Cavi Wipes are indeed used on equipment in the Procedure Room
Putting dates on all drawings, and captioning drawings for ease of understanding
Using the term "casing" instead of "chassis"

N/A
Risks and Areas of Concern
Time Risks (e.g. manufacturing of device and receiving shipment of parts on time)
Design Risks (e.g design is prone to high failure rate)
Production Risks (e.g. prototype is impossible to manufacture)
Hardware Failure Risks (e.g. purchased components are incompatible with design or prone to high failure rate)
Project Failure Risks (e.g. design is unable to work or be manufactured within the time-frame limit)
Resources or Information Required but not Available
N/A
Schedule
Prototype for Proof of Concept by Tuesday, 05/02/17
