6/2/2020 meeting
Went over preliminary design review presentation with updated BOM (week 10 slides)
Erik's questions:
Lead time up due to COVID19, polycarb sheets could be ordered early? this is 2/3s of total raw material cost due to thickness
Mentioned standardization of documentation
No questions from Twyman
Erik mentioned swinging counterweight, could this possibly be something we need
not necessary for current moment balance
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Final design presentation was given this week, few comments from instructor
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Select comments from preliminary design review:
I think a little more background on the project and what it will be used for would be helpful. I know it's to simulate launch acceleration conditions, but what will be tested in it?
Background on the needs to be more detailed. Seems to be a lot of stuff left to do within a week. Project has to be explained better. Goal for each design choice needs to be stated.
Unclear range of counter weights
Some slides had too much text
Some of the slides (esp the more technical ones) were a bit cluttered so if it's possible to space things out better that would help.
It's not clear what standards you've used or in what ways you've secured things (bolts, bearings,etc)
Some slides were a little wordy, which makes it difficult to focus on what the presenter is saying.
Not bad, maybe just a bit smoother
cleaner slides;
some slides are too wordy
Speaking can be more enthusiastic
be more clear in describing the scope of the project
