Doreen’s Status Report for 2/24/24

This week, I worked on building the rack. This involved drawing the shapes for the frame on 1/2 inch plywood and cutting them out in the wood shop in Techspark. Since many pieces needed to be cut, and I did not have training to use the machines in the wood-shop, the only tools that were used were jigsaws and drills, making the process longer than initially thought.
My progress is only schedule according to the timeline. However, with multiple midterms in the upcoming week, it will be difficult to carve out time to finish building the rack. I hope to completely focus of this after my exams on Wednesday if I do not find time in the beginning of the week.
For next week, I hope to finish building the rack with my team member, so that we can begin adding the electronic components. I also hope to carve out time to learn how to use Coreldraw to design the gears that we will need to rotate the rack. I also plan on helping to write the design report.
