Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Float body dimensions have been finalized
Bail dimensions have been finalized. Bail is almost done being fabricated
Sensor Housing is almost done. Will be finalized once bail is fabricated
Final float will be fully fabricated on 3/1/17
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Fin size has been determined for final float. Fins were enlarged to move the center of pressure further back.
Sensor Housing was fabricated. Only portion left is to cut the wire rope.
Bail clamp was fabricated
PVC for float body has been cut
Fins have been fabricated
Drive float and Cart have been simulated with a dynamic simulation
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish fabrication of sensor housing (Alan)
Finish fabrication of bail (Harry)
Full fabrication (All)
Test new sensor software from Star Oddi (Aaron)
Full Solidworks assembly (Tung)
