At Professor meeting on 2/20,
Drivetrain: Dr. Tustaniwskjy urged testing the drivetrain concept as soon as possible. Design was finished and assembly/testing is being expedited to allow time for revisions if necessary.

Risks and Areas of Concern
There is some risk of the Drivetrain spur gears or press fits not working as intended, requiring slight redesign and remanufacturing.
Integration into the walker is behind schedule. (Currently a Roomba being controlled by the Raspberry Pi is being used as a testbed for the software and sensors. Integrating into the walker once the drivetrain is ready should not be difficult; nonetheless it is behind schedule).
Resources or Information Required but not Available

Schedule
Begin Testing fully assembled walker on 3/6.
Final assembled and tested walker must be ready by 3/13 for Final Design Review.
