Over the last week, our team has worked on getting the control system ready to test the painting routines including the color grabbing routine, the brush cleaning routine, and the drawing routines. We also worked on creating the base board and improving the painting algorithm. In the beginning of the week, our team spent significant time preparing for the demo on Monday.
There are no new significant risks for our project that we foresee occurring in the future. Our mid-project demo went smoothly and we were able to create a functioning gantry system and a robust painting algorithm. Small risks include the parts of the gantry system wearing out over time, but that is something we took into account in our design. This is the reason we 3D-printed a lot of our parts, so that we could reprint them if they wear out. Any other risks we encounter should be mitigated through our careful planning and design.
No significant changes have been made to our design, and the realization of our robot is going smoothly and as planned. There are no major changes to our schedule, as our progress this week as a team is mostly on track.
