With winter break and new year’s celebrations concluded, the SurgiGauge team made their way back to UF to get the spring semester started. The first day of class we received a tornado warning and proceeded to get soaked on our way to class through a thunderstorm. Despite the rough start our entire team braved the storm and presented our critical path, work break down, and risk mitigation strategies to the class.

Outside of class, our team met to reestablish meeting times with our liaison and coach. In the lab, the team worked on several aspects of the project. The electrical subteam made progress on angular measurements with troubleshooting of sensor code. Angle testing protocols were tested to ensure ImageJ was sufficient and the testing apparatus was built as shown in the image above. The mechanical subteam worked on adjusting the attachment model and printing it for testing. Adjustments were made to the attachment CAD model and the printing request was submitted.

Things are moving along fast, so stay tuned for more updates next week!
