General Notes

GrabCAD new organisation and file naming.



  • OTS components “<Supplier> #<prt_numb>.SLDPRT”

  • Set material/weight

  • Set appearance for photo-realism (not as important) 

  • might want another display state for modeling vs rendering

  • Each supplier will have a different supplier folder in OTS

  • Gimbal as a guide

  • Fabrication folder for purchase orders top level of sub system

  • Familiarise with file properties (implement soon if everyone is interested

Assembly updates

  • Take progress pics!

SAR update

  • Demtool parts have arrived! All that’s left is the parts from Wyrx which will be shipped out Thursday

  • McMaster-Carr Parts are in the process of being distributed

  • Making a new McMaster-Carr order tonight after the meeting - let me know if you need anything!

  • Aiming to have the rover fully built by the end of next week (ready for electrical)
