Meeting 10

Date: 28 – February -2019                                

Time: 9:10-10:05

Members Present: Larenz Coles, Tara Maynard, Brittany Shine, & Allan Thomas

Location: Hitchcock 308

 

Objective:

Begin planning aR&D testing and writing methodologies.

Topics Discussed: Lab 7

  • Tara volunteered to submit the committee meeting reflection
  • The team discussed how a physical brake would be implemented
    • Brittany explained that the servo motor is coded to flip out to a certain angle
    • Tara suggested getting a stick and putty and attaching it to the servo
    • Allan named possible materials (popsicle sticks, eventually a 3D printed part)
  • The team discussed with Sheng the timeline of producing a 3D printed wheel and realized that it may not be possible to get it in time for aR&D testing
  • The team discussed that control data must be collected for aR&D testing because the AEV design has changed
  • It was a team decision to do control tests first and add the brake for experimental data; power vs distance data would be collected using data extraction tool

To Do/Action Items:

  • Submit committee meeting reflection (Tara – Mar 1)
  • Get materials for testing (Tara – Mar 1)
  • Finish Graphics 16 (Larenz/Allan – Mar 1)

Reflections:

  • The physical brake may take trial and error
  • The team needs a backup plan for the 3D printed wheel
