Current Status - We have decided the type and number of rings to purchase, going through purchase approval.
During last week, we have been reaching out to Ian Richardson to get our purchase form approved. The order for metal rings have been processed and they will be arriving this week. Then we discussed on having secondary reinforcement on the chamber through wires which are located inside the black neoprene. Lastly, we have discussed the necessity of locking mechanism.
Goals for Next Week.
Mounting Rings - mount the rings with having ropes connected to each other. Attach directly to the chamber if possible in order to avoid ring twisting.
Reinforcement Test - Add1 ring at a time until the collapse issue is solved. If the collapsing issue persists, develop the method to strengthen the wire inside the neoprene.

Wire Replacement - The current wire inside the chamber can be removed and be replaced.
Wire wrap around - Utilize the current wire we have right now and make them stronger by wrapping around it with a stronger material.
Locking Mechanism - Develop a method of keeping the chamber extended when the user is taking a rest.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting (01/21/21).
If possible, Attaching rings to the chamber will solve the issue of twisting
Make a CAD model of the design and use more professional picture.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Prevent rings from twisting and keep them parallel.
The effectiveness of new wires on the reinforcement.
