Team Status Report for 2/18/2023

Risks: LIDAR data processing/path planning, attachment points to Roomba for compute package and docking system, and others maybe? Contingency: Pivot to other open source Lidar packages, or worst case pivot to overhead camera and network call procedure.  Docking mitigation is no bin lifting and wheels instead

Design changes: consolidate power system into 1 large battery pack, power USB devices through Jetson. Use Matlab for CV things, and convert to C.

Updated schedule: added more slack post-spring break for component design and test. Re-ordered LIDAR bring-up and path planning simulation.

Engineering principles: Worst-case analysis for power, Reliability for pickup mechanism, KISS for picking the SLAM libraries that we are using.
