This week we gave our design proposal and got good feedback about our design. Going into next week we need to work on the written part of the proposal. We changed our design to incorporate gears with our servo to turn our rack.
One of the biggest risks we see moving forward is attaching the gears to the rack and the servo. In order to find good solutions for this we want to have a working prototype done by the end of this week. The solution we are currently looking at is a metal epoxy but this may change going into the future.
On the software side things are looking good and our programs are beginning to take shape. We just have to make sure we stay on schedule and give ourselves enough time to account for bugs.
This is the new schedule we made to reflect the changes in our hardware design.
