During the eighth week of our design project, the team worked on creating a preliminary presentation for the project. Practice presentations were held during the lab period, in order to prepare the groups for the final presentations. In the making of our presentation, we focused on design needs, constraints, and requirements, outlining how our project so far is making progress in each of these categories. The opportunity to have a practice presentation also gave the group a chance to improve our presentation skills and delivery, which will be important for the final presentation.
During the fourth week of our Design Project, the team worked on sourcing and gathering all of the materials that we would need for the project. This included cardboard, hinges, servo motors, wiring, and an arduino board. The weekly lab period was used for creating the basic design concept of the device in AutoCAD, and starting the coding for the arduino board. For our first prototype, we plan on constructing the body out of thick cardboard, which will allow us to make quick adjustments and changes without the use of much hardware.
