Teams Involved: Science and Mechanical

  • Nearing end of August, science will have design requirements for mechanical
  • Looking at it in the CAD
    • Belts not a loop, a line, so they'd connect with tensioning that didn't work and got caught on things
    • One of the 3D printed parts was so small nothing would get in
      • Particle size is a big problem
    • Geneva drive issues
      • Shaking from Geneva mechanism was enough to mix things up
        • Removing Geneva might mean a new method to mix things up.
          • Maybe a Scara arm?
  • Add a new camera
  • Teams had ways to isolate what was touching different samples, different shovels, etc
    • Take a look at how to reduce cross contamination
  • Figure out how the shovel/dirt collection/auger work
  • Ask Mathieu for timeline, when this should be finished
  • Do we have the resources for a design change
