Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Weekly meeting with Professor and Sponsor
Improved the current solution
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Discussed with our sponsor and Professor Delson with our current concepts, presented our ideas and project to the entire class, and acquired a lot of useful information from our peers and the instruction teams.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
We requested what we need from our sponsor, and the parts should be shipped to us within a week. Then we can start design and manufacture what we have in mind based on those parts.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
4/10/2020 meeting
It is possible to program the pitching speed of the Mammoth Air Blower
The newly designed nozzle should be in soft materials since larger vehicles will collide with the tip of the nozzle

4/10/2020 meeting
For Sponsor:
Use a detailed table to instruct the sponsor what to do, and use a phone call or zoom meeting
Simulation:
don’t model anything, things will add up. General sense. And do some modification
3D print a bunch of different types of fingers and take different measurements
3D Printing
Not possible on campus
Send e-mails to arrange an appointment for 3D printing Possible ideas
Offset the pitching of blowers
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
4/7/2020, In class: Computer simulations could be hard to simulate every single detail of the real world condition but could give a general trend of the airflow
Risks and Areas of Concern
Our design may decrease the speed of the wind comes from the blowers, and also the materials used to 3D print our design will need to be soft in order not to scratch the surface of vehicles.
The connection part of the adjustable nozzle and Mammoth trunk.
The material of the adjustable nozzle. Plastic for 3D printing might damage the vehicle.
