Week 12: Prototype Inspection Day (PID)

Sam demonstrating one of our tool assemblies to the judges during PID

This week we had the opportunity to present our work and first prototype idea to faculty, coaches, and other students. Although we might not have a complete manufactured prototype, we were able to showcase our CAD designs, assemblies, machined testbench, and other visuals of the problem we are solving. We used the testbench to demonstrate our tool for the judges, and we received valuable technical feedback. We plan to continue testing and further develop our CAD designs before and during Thanksgiving break, so that we don’t fall behind on our schedule. Additionally, we are placing purchase orders for all of our necessary components, so that we can test the electrical subsystems in parallel with the mechanical systems. We can’t wait to see our ideas turn into a physical product!
