This week, we met as a team to work towards finishing the prototype for our project. Aiden and Vivian spent time in TechSpark to attach the 3D-printed flipper to the newly-arrived servo which should soon be ready for a demo, while Bing worked towards developing a prototype for the bat swing detection. We also made some design changes regarding the surface of the game board, opting for hardboard rather than acrylic due to cheaper costs and ease of fabrication. Additionally, we also discussed our ethics assignment in preparation for the upcoming ethics activity on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, we have also encountered road blocks in the past week in the form of exams and component issues, which slowed down our development process. Although we are currently behind in terms of progress, we are working hard to complete a working demo out as soon as possible. We will keep updating our Gantt chart as frequently as we can to reflect the state of our project and adapt accordingly.
