Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Second prototype is fully assembled and will be given to sponsor today(Wednesday) for a week of testing.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
New L-frames were made with adjusted dimensions for a better fit
Connection between L-frame and ratchet is finalized - using two piece push in rivets
also glued together for reinforcement
Received new probes from sponsor and made new 3d printed fittings for the probes.
Caps were made for the knobs on the tip-tilt plate so the knobs won't be accidentally moved/rotated.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Once we receive our sponsor feedback, we might need to update the design of the L-frame so the probe will reach the desired spots - Carter, Kai
Possibly need to machine new L-frames - Claire, Jessica
The lips on the tip-tilt plate might need to be taken off in order for the pipe fitting to be longer.

The screws are sticking out of the L-frames
we've fixed the that by using push in rivets instead.
The entire frame needs to be better polished

N/A
Risks and Areas of Concern
The position that the probe can reach right now might not be sufficient, we will need to wait for sponsor feedback.
if the position is too far off, we would need to update our L-frame to a different shape.
The probes might not reach the surface of the skin depending on different head sizes so we might need to extend the pipe-fitting, which means the lips on the tip-tilt plate needs to be taken off
