Andrew T.

  • Wheel hub for TQ motor config adjustments
  • Working on ->
  • New arm pcb integration design
  • Connector hub for TQ motor configuration

Andrew Z.



Alaina

  • Welding research 
  • Hub attachment 
  • 4-Wheel CAD
  • Hub attachment 
  • Science camera mount

Asha

  • Training presentation
  • Science CAD fixes (elevator height etc)
  • Could probably use more tasks

Caleb

  • Looked into Inv Kin
  • Gimbal readjustments (fastener changes)
  • Set up ansys
  • Look into matlab modelling? (not sure if this is more of a software/firmware thing)
  • Science motors

Tony


  • Been working on flashing hall-effect sensor branch firmware onto board

Drivetrain work

  • Define drivetrain constraints and requirements in system doc
  • Finish reading unidirectional composite material properties, estimate structural member sizes
  • Design a 3-D printed motor housing
  • Finish alternate design using ILM 115X25
  • Source and purchase appropriate power resistor for Odrive
  • Flash Odrive firmware st-link on disco board; also probably need to configure based on the encoder being used
  • Tire energy methods FBD

Claw re-work

  • Allen key attachment friction-torque calculation
  • Finish flexure design

Documentation / Support work

  • Editing TQ meeting document so it’s readable for everyone
  • Start new ordering sheet; add good slip-ring to ordering sheet

Misc work

  • Set-up Solidworks PDM / SQL 2014
  • Make a typical manufacturing tolerances table

Cole

  • E-box connector panel
  • 3D-Printing research
  • Figuring out topology optimization “smart infill”
  • Finalize e-box connector panel  
    • Meet w/ david → Waiting on kyle from electrical? 
      • Tony: Check to see if this is finished / progress.
  • 3D-Printing
    • Print & test some parts

Emily

  • Sent welding information to Alaina
  • Rough PCB plan for science
  • Finalize science PCB plan & put into CAD
  • Do stress/strain research?
    • Tony: Send notes on Shigley's

David 

  • Redesigned bottom plate for science to have mount for PiCam
  • Experimented with topological optimization and generative design for PiCam bracket mount
  • Researched alternative materials for e-box
  • Have meeting with Cole about e-box connectors
  • Finalize layout for e-box components
  • Re-design bottom plate for science to have mount for science
  • Looking for more work (drivetrain/looking for something more technical) - hopefully something I can finish by September
