This week, LineTech, has made significant progress on the project. We began the week by holding meetings to gain a better understanding of the project’s scope and expectations. On Monday, we met with Dr.Stubbs at the IPPD lab, and on Tuesday, we connected with our liaison engineers.  

The middle of the week was dedicated to defining the project’s technical framework. We met on Wednesday and Thursday to work on our Product Design Specification (PDS) sheet. This involved brainstorming how to quantify our product’s performance and discussing the technical elements needed for a successful prototype.  

Looking ahead to next week, our primary goal is to complete the PDS and get Dr.Stubbs’ approval. We’ve also started to have more questions because of our brainstorming sessions, and we plan to get more data from our liaisons after we’ve finalized our non-disclosure agreements. We’re also hoping to arrange a site visit and tour so we can speak directly with the linemen who will be using our product. In parallel with these efforts, we have begun researching existing literature and off-the-shelf components as we move toward the design and development phase.
