Week 4 Progress Summary

During the week of November 25-29, team Rubber Band Gunner met once, on Monday, November 25 from 4-6 pm in Perry 311. All team members were present for this meeting, and all goals intended for this meeting were accomplished.

During this meeting, the team updated the mechanism's Arduino code in order to adjust the LCD screen display. The team also adjusted one part of the mechanism so that it could be fabricated. Both accomplishments are described in detail in the previous post.

Since the accomplishments for this week were rather simple, the team decided to continue the week's progress by splitting up different individual tasks to help accomplish future goals. Team member Jordan Parris took on the role of updating the blog, while team member Justin Belli took the role of starting SolidWorks drawings for each part of the mechanism, and team member Andrew Muise began the creation of certain parts of the mechanism using wood. Each member spent roughly 2-3 hours on an individual task.

For next week, the team plans to begin the assembly and testing of the actual mechanism, as well as post the finished drawings of each part of the mechanism. Individual work by each team member has so far helped the team reach these goals.
