There were a few components accomplished this week on the project. For the first half of the week, John, Miles, and I spent time reviewing the design presentation slides. Due to the extensive amount of content to be presented, going over them together helped John prepare exactly what to say on Wednesday given the time limit. For the second half of the week, I started working on the Design Report. I have been working on the Introduction, Use Case Requirements, some Architecture, and mostly Design Requirements. From the calculations I derived last week for the design presentation, these sections seemed the most feasible to work on first. Since I am in charge of deriving the physics of the system, I have started working on the Design Trade Studies to analyze the trade-offs and constraints of Passing Partner primarily through equations right now.
My progress right now is on schedule, so there are no changes at the moment.
Next week, I will be working with my group to finalize the Design Report. Since the Design Report will involve a lot of calculations to complete certain sections, this is where most of my focus will be. I also hope that with the Design Report coming together, I can potentially add new certain motors, wheels, etc. to the finalized Bill of Materials.
