Week 11 – 4/3/2019 – Meeting 19

Location: HI 308

Time: 8:00-8:55

Members Present: Hayden, Pulkit, Bryan

Topics:

• Tested 1st shell, found it to be obsolete
  • too heavy, back wheel doesn’t sit on track
    • reflectance sensor not able to record properly, no data extraction available
  • shell rubs into AEV arm, arm becomes slanted/off balance
  • didn’t make it over the incline
• Applied and tested final shell
  • works very well with current chassis, moved battery onto arm instead of having it placed on bottom of vehicle
    • found to be helpful, less swaying during travel
  • top cover does not fit onto shell because of wires, will file a hole into it
    • also sits on shell in a very loose manner, will use tape
  • did not inhibit AEV travel at all, data was recorded properly unlike last design iteration

Upcoming topics:

• Make some tweaks to AEV shell to have top fit on
• Further edit code for final performance test
• Progress Report 3 due Monday

Week 11 – 4/1/2019 – Meeting 18

Location: HI 308

Time: 8:00-8:55

Members Present: All

Topics:

• Research and development methodology 3 – applied the 1st iteration AEV shell to chassis
• Tweaked code based on track, but did not test
• Noticeable flaws already with the first AEV shell
  • extremely large and heavy, almost does not fit onto the chassis
  • cannot plug usb cord into the arduino

Upcoming tasks:

• Test the 1st iteration AEV shell
  • collect data, record results
• Apply final AEV shell that has just been printed
  • collect data, record

Week 10 – 3/29/2019

Location: HI 224

Time: 7:30-8:55

Members Present: Hayden, Marty, Bryan

Topics:

• Committee meeting 2
  • Hayden (R&D) – code was touched up to be more compliant with HI 224’s track
    • additional time opportunity 24 advance notice for extra R&D
  • Marty (HR) – everyone gets along well
  • Bryan (PR) – website updates need to be applied
• Website update notes
  • timeline of AEV, how would you go on with a timeline format?
    • arrow over and have dates, draw conclusions and “because of this we did this change”
    • or separate evolution page with one picture of each prototype
  • change titles of final design to just modifications of grant proposal?
    • yes, don’t exactly have a final design, just a final concept to improve on
  • Other notes:
    • cdr can copy from website cuz website overlaps to everything
    • cite sources (sources page) like pr&d and ohio state directions
    • put descriptions on code page to inform audience what “performance test 1” is
    • like two sentences of comments before each section of code

Upcoming Tasks:

• Methodology 3 – applying the AEV shell to the chassis
  • will tweak code based on new weight of vehicle
• Progress Report 3
