Team Status Report for 4/18/26

The main risks at this stage remain mechanical integration and timing. While most subsystems—including user detection, Bluetooth control, and sensor integration—are functioning well, the primary challenge is completing the physical mounting of all components onto the umbrella. Delays in mounting have pushed back some integration testing. To manage this, the team is prioritizing final assembly tasks and distributing the workload to accelerate completion. If delays continue, we will rely on our existing testbench to continue validating motor control and subsystem interactions and perform incremental integration as each component is mounted.

There have been no major changes to the overall system architecture or design requirements. Any additional cost or time impacts are being mitigated by leveraging existing materials and optimizing assembly processes.

The project schedule is largely still on track, with some delays in physical assembly. However, progress in sensor integration and motor control testing has continued in parallel, allowing us to maintain momentum. As assembly is finalized, we expect to quickly transition into full system testing and validation without significant impact to final deadlines.
