Week 02/20 - 02/27

Week 3 of the meeting was mainly to discuss the poster and presentation. Since most CAD designs are pretty much done now, we are waiting for the machined parts to be done. Machine parts will most likely be done by end of March, but there will be 3D printed ones for us to keep. Throughout the week, I researched on how to test a motor, including finding motor torque, torque constants, voltage, currents, etc.

Week 02/13 - 02/20

The second week of the meeting was going like usual. There was a meeting with the overall groups about Makers Faire, and there was a small talk provided by a guest speaker. Within the Motor's team, we got to a conclusion for our CAD designs and we sent the drawings to the machinist that we have reached out and contacted. The update given by the machinist is that we will be getting the case early March. The plan after receiving the case is that we will be testing the motor to find the torque, maximum speed, current it needs, and voltage it needs.

2nd semester Week 02/06 - 02/13

During the first week of the meeting, there was nothing much going on because everyone was busy moving in from the old Spartan Superway building. However, after finalizing the moving in, the team and I decided to pick a table in the room that will be used for our regular meeting table. I also helped the team in designing the poster that was required by Prof. Furman. Other than the poster, the team and I discussed future plans about we have o do, and the main focus of the semester. We came up with ideas such as measuring the actual dimensions of the motor and finalize our CAD designs, test motor once the Controls team are done with it, and follow up with the machinist
