Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Making changes to our first model
Working on DFM
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Researched existing patents to see how our design stood out
3D printed the first prototype and put it together
Submitted patent brainstorm proposal
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Presentation - Rebeca, Daniel, Anne, and Adam
Get a preliminary quote from MicroGroup - Rebeca
Test if prototype can bend different materials to make desired shape - Sponsor
Possibly meet up in person to test - Rebeca, Daniel, Anne, and Adam
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

Prototype has been printed and it looks really good
Brainstorm document for patent will be submitted
Add cross section to CAD drawing
Add cross sectional drawing exploded view for patent document
Handle may not need to be as thick
Trigger could be shorter
Make the stem of tabs thinner so they can bend easier
Research ratcheting systems
