This week, I narrowed down the design for the hardware item stand/rack, gathered parts lists, and picked up a lot of materials from Home Depot (3 large plywood sheets and some wood studs).
I read peer feedback from the proposal presentation, found components and built a more robust design, with a large bearing for weight distribution and rotation
Then I relearned SolidWorks, and created an assembly of the rack with several components. I also went to TechSpark to discuss feasibility of our hardware parts and the possibility of using their machines.
I also participated in team goals such as creating a design presentation
I am still on schedule (maybe slightly ahead) and plan to test out the components that just arrived
Next week, I hope to test out all the components, build a small physical system, and start the construction of the item stand
