Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Springs arrive and prototype fabrication begins. We consider which springs to use and how to arrange the T-slot frame.

Accomplishments from Previous Week
A working model is now available to test.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
By winter week 1, the team members will look into their individual part analyses.
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 an additional goal of making a splint for Bodie's physical therapy to add range of motion to his hind legs.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Instructor suggested further work on modeling the system through free body diagram and graphing Bodie's needed moment and the aiding moment provided by the device. Current models are solved for a moment provided at his shoulder.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Risks and Areas of Concern
The free body model is still lacking. Proper spring decision will depend on a proper FBD.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Accurate modeling of Bodie's center of mass will help group analysis. The team thinks that using two scales a distance apart that Bodie can stand on will help determine the center of mass based on the proportion of weights measured by the two scales.
