Things are moving quickly around here, and there is a lot to talk about! IPPD’s System Level Design Review (SLDR) event is just a few days away, and we’ve been hard at work refining our designs, analyzing our models, and confirming vendors for our materials. Let’s take a look!

On Tuesday, Parrotronix participated in an IPPD peer review event for SLDR. We presented a summary of our project’s goals and progress from the semester to two other teams: 3Delish and DesiGators. With their valuable feedback, we are making some final tweaks and changes to our report and presentation to prepare for the real deal next Tuesday. We also went over our progress with our coach to hear their thoughts as well, making sure we are as prepared as we can be.

As a team, we’ve been working nonstop on our SLDR report, which is the most important part of IPPD’s SLDR. Although it won’t be a part of our SLDR presentation, this report goes to great lengths to detail all of the research, modeling, prototyping, and manufacturing plans we have for bringing our animatronic friends to life. It might be a bit long, but we’d rather make sure no stone is left unturned for Pinecrest Gardens. Although we’re nervous about the next semester of manufacturing, we’re also incredibly excited to get our hands dirty!
