Team Status Report for February 10, 2024

Risks

• Levitation not working. 
  • We have a backup system with mechanical wheels. We will test the levitation system early on to make sure it’s sufficient 

• Things ordered don’t show up on time
  • Working in slack time into the schedule. 
• Integration not working out. 
  • Prioritize levitation and propulsion and work with the functional components. 
• Speed and Slow not Implemented. 
  • Try different methods to implement speed-up/slow-down, we’ll look into different tracks and circuit designs. 
• RFID stops not functional. 
  • We’ll make sure the train does a complete loop around the track which can be triggered by the user. 

Design Changes

The LiDAR may be changed to an ultrasonic sensor or something lighter and simpler. The LiDAR may be too complicated for our needs. 

Schedule Changes

In the future, we will try to make it more clear that our tasks are parallel.
