Day 1:
Date: 1/10/19
Time: 11:10 AM – 12:30 PM
Attendees: All group members present (Brayden, Lars, Nicholas, and Sean)
Details:
- Website creation was relegated to Group E within the company.

Day 2:
Date: 1/17/19
Time: 11:10 AM – 12:30 PM
Attendees: All group members present (Brayden, Lars, Nicholas, and Sean).
Details:
- Lars and Nicholas Constructed the AEV using the 3D model given to replicate.
- Sean preformed a reflective sensor test. It was not working for a while and a TA was needed to assist him. The instructions given were not working.
- Sean wrote the code as seen in the Codes Used tab for lab 2.
- Brayden documented and checked what was present in Group A’s AEV kit and filled out the kit Checklist.
- Nicholas started the Team Working Agreement.
Objectives for Next Meeting:
- Run a reflective sensor test and set up the AEV.
Day 3:
Date: 1/31/19
Time: 11:10 AM – 12:30 PM
Attendees: All group members present (Brayden, Lars, Nicholas, and Sean).
Details:
- Lars set up the AEV
- Brayden wrote the code as seen on in the Codes Used tab for lab 3.
- Sean ran the Reflective Sensor test. It continued to be finicky, so he wrote down his own process, so that he will no longer need a TA’s help and can do it on his own.
- Nicholas used the sample data and ran Data Analysis Tool and created the graphs seen in the Codes Used tab for lab 3. He used the sample data because Group A ran out of time because the reflective sensors were not working properly.
Objectives for Next Meeting:
- Using the AEV designs, run the AEV on the track and see which one is the most efficient.
Day 4:
Date: 2/7/19
Time: 11:10 AM – 12:30 PM
Attendees: All group members present
Details:
- Group members presented their model to the group
- Each design was scored against the Sample AEV in order to see how good they are so a design can be decided upon
- Lars’s design scored the highest but since his design included a custom part, it was not included into consideration. Therefore, Brayden’s design was chosen as the design to use.
