Week 3 Work Summary

This document will serve as a weekly retrospective, similar to the sprint retrospective you will have in the industry. It will help us organize all the progress and documentation you have worked on. This will also help the supervisor improve task planning and collaboration. Don’t be stressed if there is not a lot to put on this document. It is very typical if you just start looking into a new field, try to keep frequent communication with your supervisor, and we can work together.

How to use this document

  • Copy this template document and fill the document at the end of the week(normally on Friday Afternoon). This document should be a short 10 min update doc.

    • Significant progress has been made to the design on the drone. Initial considerations proposed a four EDF setup each two with F-35 type trust-vector-control (TVC) control and the other two with F-22 type TVC. In light of regulations regarding the competition, I believe a more practical solution would be to use a dual rotor design with a pitch stabilizer in the aft section of the vessel. Much more progress is to come regarding this drone configuration.

  • Wiring Installation on DT

    • All six wheels are now connected and organized with their required wires and should be ready to test once the software is ready.

  • Communication Gimble

    • Physical prototype is functional with 180 servo. The hi-tech servo has no problem with yaw control on the system. For full function, a servo with broader range is needed. The next steps include refining the design to allow for metal manufacturing and programming it to track a ground station signal.
