2021-11-18 Meeting Minutes - Drivetrain

11 Days until Final Design Review (Nov. 29th!)

  • Aim is to just be changing measurements at this point, filling in the details (spacers, fasteners, tolerances)

Goals

  • Review wheel integration plan
    • Update on inner fillet measurements?
    • Update on 3D printed hub
    • Update on custom wheel research
      • Conclusion: proceed with Wheeleez
    • Encoder update....
  • Review carbon fibre bonding plan
    • Summary of bonding paper
    • Shear force calculations at joints for epoxy selection
    • Update on plan for Saturday
  • Suspension geometry
    • Geometry is close enough to the prototype (tongue)
  • FEA update?
    • Tested plate with triple the weight of the arm, statically is not yielding, max displacement is 1mm
      • But that's for the full plate and we're expecting a cutout for science + lightening holes
    • Need to still determine areas of focus
  • Sponsorship items update?
    • SKF → ASAP
    • Demtool
    • RLS → dealt with
    • 3D printer sponsor?
