Met with project sponsors and received problem definition and have come to an agreement on a redesign of the sled, rather than simply building a bigger sled.

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Each member of the group is to come up with a new multiple blade design for the sled. CAD Models and acrylic prototypes will be drawn and built. Blade designs must be interchangeable.

Risks and Areas of Concern
Forces experienced on the sled may cause the cable attached to the sled to snap posing a safety hazard. Also, dust created while working with carbon fabric may be harmful if inhaled and the fabric itself may cause itching and irritation if in contact with skin.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Distance between the carbon fabric required before the anodes short each other.
Schedule
Receive previous sled from sponsors, build a small prototype of newly designed sled and the blade designs.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
No money was spent yet.
