• CAD starting point

• First pass CAD done by the next drivetrain meeting on sunday

• Decide on battery/ebox mounting interface

Drivetrain Weight Reduction

• @Austin Tailon Huang update CAD

• No updates

• Focusing on ebox

Rover Comms Tower / Gimbal Mount

• Gimbal Mount Investigation

• PDR 1 completed

• Preliminary CAD for new design location

EBox Redesign

• Met on weekend/ PDR reviewed

• PDR - EBox Redesign 2022/23

• Moving onto design

• Need to update buck converters in list to OTS component - talk to David

• Same with BMS ^

List of Ebox Contents 2023

• Aim for space claim layout and outer profile for upcoming drivetrain meeting

A1 Base Plate

• https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/l/cp/pUAgazoa

• Meet with @Austin Tailon Huang

A5/A6 - Shaft Redesign

• https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/l/cp/ETiVKLtw

  • Ticket created

  • Looking at encoder shafts right now

  • Review shaft redesign with @Austin Tailon Huang

• Machining key seats soon

• Create a drawing and send to drafting channel ASAP

• Help clean up the bay

A5/A6 - Structural Weight Reduction

• @Austin Tailon Huang revisit this task when shaft redesign and encoder protection are completed.

• N/A

Design Allen Key Tool Module

• Good for new members

Joint Testing Plans

• No updates

@Chanpakorn Chaiklahan

Arm Camera Mount

• Select a suitable camera to be mounted on the wrist

• Requires communication with SW, simpler mechanical design task

Circle back on this one

Science Assembly

• Assemble drill module to air manifold system routing

• Camera mount not updated

• New aluminum extrusion developed over weekend

• Assembly for frame to be redone over the weekend as well

•  

Science Sensor Dino Mount

• Dino mount is completed

• Parts are printed

•  

• Done

Air Manifold Assembly

• Assemble air manifold

  • @Austin Tailon Huang

• Done

3D Sensor Head Mount

• Design and assemble 3d printed sensor head mount

• Testing on CO2 sensor completed

  • CO2 sensor can work when submerged or in a vacuum

• Clarify what she means by vacuum

• She thinks 15sec submerging can work

Remachine Science Dirt Nozzles

• Science - Remachine the air manifold nozzle heads

• Revisit when science is fully assembled

Design Mount for Science PCB

• Good for new members, learn about PCB packaging

• Easier design task

• Noone actively working on this task
