Day 15: (Tue Oct 20, Week 8) Concept Review

Notes for 2020-10-20.

New Assignments

  1. Preparation for next class: write up a bill of materials based on your current understanding. A BOM is a document listing every part in the system. My chief intent is to refocus on practical details; writing a BOM involves making decisions about form, scale, purchases, and construction. For now, this doesn’t need to include small parts like fasteners, although eventually it will. Please set this up as a shared Google Sheet, it will be a living document.

  2. For next week: set up a Webots simulation (either revised or new) with enough fidelity to begin testing performance scripts.

Daily Agenda

  1. Group discussion of new project directions.

  2. Brief individual group meetings, if needed.
