Unassigned Task
Science
Geneva mechanism and depositing dirt into test tubes (Chan and David)
Elevator system (Chan and David)
claw/drill (Chan and David)
Sensor head (Chan and David)
Look into how many test tubes are needed (Ask Clare during leads meeting)
Drivetrain
Chan has created a jig to machine the current joints to add a dowel pin, someone needs to take it appart, machine it and implement new parts X6
Use CAD to get Weight of Drivetrain
Look into issues with current encoders, why are they making contact, how can they be fixed
Working with electrical team to find a wire management solution for the drivetrain, this can be looked at in CAD first (look at current wiring on rover)
Look into how the wheels are mounted and how it can be improved. Ideally something more durable than 3D print, but still taking weight into account. Also how the wheel can be inflated so we can adjust pressure. A lower priority is to look into adding additional traction.
Secondary
Chan and David have looked into weight reduction for the Drivetrain. These need to be machined.
E-Box
Work with electrical to finalize parts list and design Ebox
Gimble
Update CAD to see how high the gimbal can be, then manufacture and assemble it with the updated pieces
Talk to Nico about requirements for autonomy → he mentioned we may want gimbal to be fixed. If so, what height should it be to ensure proper fov?
Arm
Use Cad to get weight estimate of the arm
Secondary
Plates on bottom of arm need to be removed, someone can look into updating the drawings
