General Notes

General Updates

• New GrabCAD! Message Asha if you didn't get added…
• Related: check out Ethan’s folder structure page: https://wiki.uwaterloo.ca/display/UWRT/Folder+Structure (maybe we should have a channel for reviewing confluence pages?)
• No more slides the same as last week's. If you have new information to add, add it. If you do not, please delete the slide. Add it back in a future week if you have new updates for it. I will be clearing the slides before I post them each week, so if you need to build off of last week's content, copy it from last week's slide.

Requirements Review

• Everyone should have read through the manual by now
• Thanks to everyone who contributed to the requirements page
• Any further questions from the requirements?

Steps Moving Forward

• It's time to start researching how we're going to approach each of the challenges
• For each system, a half-team will come up with a list of requirements and constraints for it
• For research, come up with a list of questions you're hoping to answer about your system. Ex. Why are certain designs advantageous? How does this design work? How feasible/advantageous is it for us to use one type of concept?
• Research related information, existing solutions, similar problems, etc
• Team arm will research arm information, team drive train will research drive train information. The remaining tasks will be split as we decide later
• Document your research in a confluence page!
