Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Drivetrain begun prototype manufacturing.
Begun programming sampling algorithm.
Begun programming pathfinding algorithm.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Drivetrain Design finished, components ordered, prototypes manufactured.
Drivetrain Performed electromagnetic clutch testing with step up voltage regulator to 24V. Clutches work well and have more static torque than necessary.
Charging Design finalized
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Drivetrain assembled, iterated upon, and fully functional by 3/5 -Ivan.
Machine parts, have charging base tested and built by 3/5 -Fuad
Complete sampling algorithm and test mapping various environments by 2/24 -Sebastian
Complete pathfinding algorithm and implement it on the Roomba by 2/24 -Jordan

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Dr. Tustaniwkyj last week on 2/13 strongly suggested that we try not to use dog gears in the drivetrain because it would add too much complexity, among other problems. The final drivetrain design does not utilize dog gears.
