One of the most significant risks that could harm the success of the project is that we may have to work separately in order to make sure that different tasks can be tackled at the same pace. We will manage the risk by ordering two pieces of the same hardware parts so that we will be able to do our own work at the same time. The hardware parts will not be wasted because there is the possibility that we will add a second layer to our fridge so that we will use two hardware pieces.
Another risk that we currently met is that even though we order all parts using the form last Sunday and expected that the orders would have been placed on Tuesday, we did not know that we needed to inform TAs in order for the orders to be confirmed. Thus, we didn’t get the orders placed until Friday, which may influence our schedule. Fortunately, our models and codes will not be run on jetson Nano until we tested them on PC, so the delay in these parts will not be a big problem. For the acrylic boards and the LED grids, we will try to work on the building work together to shorten the time we need for this part of the work.
In general, we do not have any changes to our proposed schedule. This week we worked on the design review presentation together, and we tried to specify the implementations of the software part and support our ideas with related works and details. We also decided on the bill of materials and placed the orders. For the next week, we will work on the design review report and start working on our own tasks as planned.
