4 Days until Final Design Review

Touch-base meeting Sunday or Monday evening?
- Monday 8pm!
Mechanical team overview Wednesday or Thursday
- Thursday 8pm!

Goals

Set days for final design review
Finalize pending action items:
- Bonding testing
  - Updates to strategy
  - Plan for testing with current timeline
- Wheel integration plan
  - Load calculations?
  - Material choice?
    - PETG?
- FEA
  - Areas of focus, plan for timeline
    - Areas for FEA:
      - Drivetrain wheel hubs & Drivetrain wheel hub connectors
        Test with statically for buckling and vibration
        Test effect of heat on ABS connector? (Less of a priority)
      - Suspension
        Bending on bogie connector plates
        Impact on bonding tubes, specifically the fastener?
        Vibration on fastener + thread lock coming loose (Less of a priority)
      - Differential
        Impact of chassis forcibly wanting to tip
- Sponsored items update?
  - Get in by the end of this weekend!
    - Demtool only for pieces we can't machine in-house or that have tight precision
    - Demtool wishlist → EVERYONE TO DO
- CAD updates

Update & Action Items

Member	Update	Action Items
a4tersig@uwaterloo.ca (Unlicensed) (Chassis)		FEA items Finalize CAD finish mounting plate layout of vertical assembly electrical stuff (antennas, rockets, gimbal, etc) ensure all design review recommendations are met determine what needs to be sent to demtool / can be done in house
amillsem@uwaterloo.ca (Wheel connections)		Load calculations for versaplanetary Tipping calculations Want balanced moments with arm, ebox, battery → find optimal positions?
Emily Adam (Differential bar)		Plan for doing tensile test? Print Asha's wheel test Update differential bar CAD!!!!!!!!!! Assemble bonded pieces Plan Winter term timeilne
mapitzgr@uwaterloo.ca (Frame/structure)
cchaikla@uwaterloo.ca		Send Emily material testing contact

New Tasks

Set-up tensile test of bonded piece
Routing for motors and encoders → Emily maybe
Bonding fixture?
