Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Testing of the dry paint thickness verification is being conducted, and adjustments are being made.
Now in possession of both sprayers, but only one tip and one cup. Current plan is to just use one spray head.
The brackets connecting the sliders, motors and frame have all be constructed.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Cleared up the miscommunication and are now in possession of one full sprayer (tip and cup included.) Still need to communicate with 3M and see why we are missing parts from the second one.
Begun testing of the dry paint verification method.
Finalized design and finished machining all parts.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Talk to Alberto and see if we can get the missing tip and cup in time Mario
Make necessary adjustments to the thickness verification Garrett
Begin labview programming Chris M.

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Sponsor was out of town but he was concerned about our order. Since then part of our order has arrived.
Alberto will be out of town again this week, we will be communicating with the paint expert Don Means.
Concerned why we didn't get what we ordered, said he will contact 3M or we can cancel the order.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Worried that spray paint wont be an accurate way to test our thickness verification method, we will be sure to use enough in this situation.
Curious about how our 2D movement is coming. We don't have it moving yet, but we also haven't encountered any problems.
Suggested that if we only have one spray head to start then we should just stick with that idea. If we get another in time, then we can modify our design. This is our plan currently.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Could the second sprayer be ready on time.
Mostly just concerned about time at this point.
Contact will be out of town again
DON'T forget badges!
