Action items with names assigned:
Payton and Alec took control over Exercise 4 since Mia and Billy worked on Exercise 1 and 2. There were difficulties throughout the lab period, and the group needed extra lab time during the 3:55 lab period. Payton and Alec were able to finish Exercise 4 during the next lab period with the two graphs that needed to be plotted.
Mia and Billy worked on the Website to put Exercise 1 and 2 on the respective pages. We decided since there are certain people will more expertise than others to split it up based on who worked on what.
Billy is in charge of Exercise 1 and it’s report questions. Mia is incharge of Exercise 2. Exercise 3 will be a group consensus because each member gave an equal input. Exercise 4 and 5 will be written as a duo by Payton and Alec since they have control over those sections. Each member will help the other with their parts throughout the week but each member has their own duties.
We plan to meet in the beginning of the week so that we can check in and make sure that everyone is on the same page. Before then, each member is to get as far as they can with their work at this point. Payton will be in charge of the meeting notes as always.

Action items with names assigned:
Alec and Payton decided that it would be best if Payton completed the deliverables for Exercise 4. Then for Alec to finish Exercise 5. But for the questions that need to be answered the last bullet point Payton is taking care of, to make the work between Alec and Payton even.

The group as a whole will meet on Thursday to make final edits together and make sure everything is good to go.

Members Present: Alec Braun, Payton Gliane, Billy Kelly, Mia Rizzo
Topics/Agenda:
- Investigate the effect of Motor Configuration
- Develop plans for next meeting and what needs to be accomplished before we see each other again.
Action items with names assigned:
As a group, the directions for the motor configuration research and development section were read. The team decided which 4 configurations made the most sense and Payton listed them in a Google Doc. Alec and Payton brainstormed ways to explain the reasons for why these were chosen while Mia and Billy built the AEV’s new configuration.
Alec collected the data on his computer and screenshotted the graphs obtained. Payton wrote out the documentation for this section. Mia and Billy were the ones placing it on the track and making sure that the run was safe.
The team was unable to finish the lab during this first lab period. But, Payton is to make sure that the images of all the configurations are compiled and that documentation that can be completed is completed before the next lab. This way the group is able to breeze through the lab next period so there is enough time to finish motor quantity.
The group did not have time to figure out how the grant proposal or the committee meetings will go but plan to meet before lab on Friday.

The team was able to collect all of the graphs and visuals for the Motor configuration and Payton took down observations during each trial and Alec is in charge of all of the visuals. The group is proud of their progress during this lab period.
