12/6 Meeting

This meeting was the last before winter break. The last of the presentations of the groups were done today and the 12th scale cabin team's presentation can be found below detailing the end of the semester's progress. For a quick recap of the progress done so far:

  • The team fabricated two cabin designs
    • Prototype 1 satisfied the function of housing the controls without excess space
    • Prototype 2 touched on a more aerodynamic and futuristic aesthetic
  • Conducted an aerodynamic analysis of the cabin
  • Begun conceptual designs of Prototype 3

Over break, Prototype 3 aims to be a further refinement in aesthetics while the attempting to fulfill the following new functional goals:
  • Sustain a fall from 3 ft fall with all the components contained in it
  • Proper air ventilation (heat from internal battery) 
  • Develop a compartment system for all the internal components
  • Find a proper door alternative that is safe and convenient

11/29 Meeting

This meeting was spent listening to final presentations of the Full Scale Teams and the 1/12th Scale Track Team for the semester. I agreed with Kaelan to to have a printing of Prototype 2 done by next meeting. However, we are still waiting on a response to Professor Yousseffi to see if will be able to print our design in time. Our Presentation 3 was completed this week but I will post it here the following week after our presentation. This presentation will also be our final one of the semester.
