Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Wow design solution ready, need to make sure a backup plan
further developed feeder bowl design
designed conveyor belt system
found out more about what sensor and micro controller we are going to use
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Preliminary specifications for feeder bowl, research on feeder bowl design and tuning
Chose conveyor design, rough draft designed in CAD
Discovered information about Markem Imaje printer, how it is used currently and what is needed to implement it in our project

Risks and Areas of Concern
We need to design and manufacture the entire feeder bowl system, there are chances that this mechanism won't work or will take too much time to get working correctly.
Backup design solution involves less automation, but still saves time over current methods.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Price on the triggering sensor
