Addtronics poster first draft

This week the Addtronics team has been focusing on preparing for our Final Design Review (FDR) which will be held next week. In order to prepare, we have been hard at work on elements such as our poster (pictured above), promotional video, presentation, and demo. The poster and promotional video are both meant to give an overview of our entire project including concepts such as the issue we are solving, how we are solving it, and the benefits of our design. The presentation provides more insight on specific tasks completed, goals met, and decisions made throughout the process. The demo will serve as proof that we have completed our scope of work entirely and will help the audience visualize our components and how they work together.

Additionally, we have continued working on our software and controller approach for the arm. We have reduced the number of commands needed to fully open the lid after positioning the quadruped to 5 commands thus making our system more user friendly and easy to operate. We have also received an actual transformer box lid from Florida Power and Light to use for our FDR demo. We have mounted this lid onto our mock box to serve as a more accurate representation of how our design will work in the field. We are very excited to share our realistic demo with you all during FDR next week!
