A lot happened this week with the project. Our team was given critical feedback concerning the viability of our drone based proposal for providing shade that made us have to reconsider the entire approach. This required revisiting almost all of the decisions and research we did for the initial proposal. We divided these tasks up between us to try to accomplish this as quickly as possible.
We are slightly behind where we would like to be considering the setback with reconsidering our project idea. The design proposal offers a nice chance to get back onto schedule with the deliverables that are due. With all the documents that we prepare for the proposal we can update our gantt chart with updated tasks, deliverables and dates. We might have to slightly eat into our slack time but I am confident we will be able to get back on target.
Since we were not able to do it this week we need to ensure that our entire list of critical materials are ordered by the start of next week. Most should be chosen in the design proposal creation process, but any decisions that are not made should be made by this point. After that I can begin more specific CAD design on the important physical components of the umbrella.
