The only work I did early in the week was prepare for the interim demos. This included making a list of talking points and details that I wanted to share with the instruction staff. This work was not particularly difficult or time consuming, but it was necessary to ensure I remained within the demo time limit while conveying all the necessary information.
In the back half of the week the team started getting in parts necessary for the structure of the gantry. On Friday, Andrew and myself were able to increase the length of the gantry with the new 1200mm rods. The reason for this change was highlighted in last week’s team report. Additionally, the prefabricated cart arrived which allowed everyone to start planning how to attach our gantry securely to the cart. More details on this in this weeks team report.
Looking forward to next week, I want to be able to finish the structure with the gantry on it. This will allow us to start testing the wheels and the pdf splicing software.
