Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Sponsor was very happy with the team's research. Mr. Schrell was initially confused with what we meant with Moment of Inertia of different designs, but that changed very quickly.
Talk with sponsor last week was over a web call.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Prof. T was concerned that the plates were too thick, and they were slimmed down for the RR presentation.
Prof. T assisted the team in understanding how to best explain theory of moment of inertia and why it increases support of the door.
Prof. T assisted the team in our specific ICAs. Each member used his advice to improve their research.

Risks and Areas of Concern
Testing, analyzing data, and prototyping are all areas we haven't started. Issues may arise.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Collins just sent us a CAD file with door but through-holes aren't there. All that is in the CAD is the overall shape of the door.
Schedule
We will resume research and testing next quarter.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
