We have lots of spare parts for the physical systems that mitigates most of the risk related to hardware failure. As we’re more or less done with individual subsystems, the problem could still arise as we’re integrating different subsystems. For example, the computational power difference between the Pi and the computer we’ve been testing the vision system on could lead to issues – we don’t anticipate this to be a problem, but worst case we do have a more powerful Pi (Pi5 that we didn’t end up using) so do these processing. Another problem that could be an issue is the motor shaking messing with the computer vision but we can avoid this issue through our software, to do so we simply don’t run any of the computer vision subsystem while the motor is running.
We have no major design changes this week.
We have no schedule changes this week. We will be focused on testing and integration for the rest of the semester.
