Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
In class meeting (April 23):
Plastic wrap for sample is risky, try other materials like silicon sheet
We ordered silicon sheet to replace plastic wrap
Using rubber bands to fix plastic wrap is not a good solution
We ordered bolt clamp to replace rubber bands
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
N/A
Risks and Areas of Concern
The performance of bolt clamp & silicon sheet is unknown
We will cut the silicon sheet in suitable shape and then test water tightness of this combination.
The functionality of drive train system is unknown
We will run few tests on drive train system as soon as motor control problem is solved.
