Welcome back! The team had a wonderful semester break and returned this week eager to hit the ground running. Out first act of business focused on laying a strong foundation to pick up the progress on our project. We reviewed the project scope, revisited our progress from the previous term, and discussed our goals for the semester – both long term and short term. During our initial team meeting, we collaborated to create a new meeting schedule, including liaison meetings, coach meeting, sub-team meetings, whole team touchpoints, and lab work sessions. In class, we participated in an activity to build and plan our January roadmap. We are confident that this schedule will set us up for success this semester.

In following this schedule, some team members met in the lab this week to dive back in to work. We were able to set up the RFID reader to read tags and conduct research into the languages we can use to interface with the reader. We will begin to dial in the specs to work for our use case. The mechanical team is brainstorming ideas for models we can use when incrementally testing our project to ensure we have created the best product before testing it in the IPPD lab. Stay tuned for more updates as the semester progresses!
