156B Week 9
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Locking mechanisms fully developed.
The 80/20 metal bar for the frame is purchased and cut
Integration still needs to be performed
Accomplishments from Previous Week
80/20 bars received and cut
Locking mechanisms finished, now made out of metal and not PLA
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Build structure fully. Make sure measurements are correctly tailored to the surfboard (Nic and Jason)
Purchase material for bottom trough, build bottom trough
Integrate locking mechanisms (Amber and Eric)
Stay up to date with documentation (All)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Meeting on Saturday 3/2
Sponsors wanted both locking mechanisms to fit onto a frame that looks the same- To resolve this, we ended up deciding to move Amber's locking mechanism horizontally, which actually helps the design in multiple ways
Instructors wanted the trough to match the surfboards- A dark blue lexan piece has been ordered
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Concern about horizontal vs. vertical locking mechanisms. We eliminated that concern while talking with our sponsors this weekend
We need to look closer at engineering standards such as tipping standards
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Students don't understand the importance of the SIM card, but we have recently deemed it outside of the scope of our project.
The public health area was not explained very clearly, but our project doesn't have much to do with that sector.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Will be doing a lot of fabricating in the next week, but we should be able to handle it.
