Abha’s Status Report for March 21

The first part of the week was spent on figuring out how to deal with the coronavirus changes, since that majorly affected my part of the project. Since things were changing every day (wrt CMU, Techspark, where I would be, etc), it took me a couple days to nail down a plan. My current plan, now that everything is closed, is to use household materials, such as cardboard, wood, clay, etc, to build the best prototype I can at home. To that end, this week, I finalized the CAD for the robot frame. The individual panels are displayed below. The front is on the left side, and includes a hole for the text display. The sides are in the middle. The back is on the right side, and includes grills for heat dissipation. The end of the week was personally spent moving/traveling, and now that I am in a more settled location, I will build a prototype out of cardboard to ensure that the dimensions are correct. I will also get the eyes display working.
