Overall High Level Project Scope
List of Required Objects for Interaction
- Previous research: Arm Requirements (2021-2022)
- RULES (find updated list of interactable objects to test here): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qlLfx9sDniEUvQr1B3vMOcHAvCPzXo06/view
Budget
- Initial figure is under 100 CAD, however try to keep this number to a minimum. We should have enough parts/resources to build this for next to nothing
Timeline
- Have the testing lander done ideally by end of the term
List of Tasks
- Review rules, watch videos from other teams, and watch the URC mars lander videos linked below
- Create a concrete list of interactable objects on the URC Mars lander
- Look in the bay to get a general sense of what materials/parts are available, and what can be used for interaction
- Create a rough CAD model of the lander design
- Source all required parts, finalize a budget, finalize CAD model
- Review design
- Construct Lander
Resources for Sourcing Parts
- The bay/SDC. Ideally we want to reuse random parts we have on hand to keep costs low.
