This past week, my main responsibility has been putting together our presentation. However, I have also focused on researching materials, helping determine specifics for our calculations, and making design decisions. Since I am the one in charge of the CV, I researched multiple cameras and decided to get the Oak D Pro Robotics Camera. I am also working on learning how to use OpenCV since that’s what we’re using to identify people with our camera. I have no deliverables yet, as the first goal of mine is to get the launcher built and working before the break. I have not finished any code, although I have started interfacing with the Camera.
I think we have fallen slightly behind schedule, primarily because we had to pivot part of our design at the last minute due to unforeseen physical constraints that we discovered with our current design. For next week, I would like to have some code deliverable as I continue to work on the CV, and potentially also have proof that I can successfully interface with the Oak D camera. I would also like to have our motors ordered and parts of our launcher 3d printed.
