Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Still focusing on receiving materials to build the artificial burrow
Besides that, meetings have just been to brainstorm the vehicle design
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Professor asked us to brainstorm vehicle design ideas, 2/27 in person. Each member came up with two ideas, and we narrowed down to about 5 ideas by eliminating overlap.
Professor wanted to ensure vehicle noise is not a problem, 2/27 in person. We asked the sponsor and they said it shouldn't be a concern for now, and to solely focus on locomotion for now.
