General Reminder

Conall Kingshott

  • Please don’t be afraid to ask questions

  • If you aren’t completely sure you should be doing something, reach out to Megan and I. Especially if it’s something irreversible like drilling, filing, dremmeling, etc competition parts

Cornflakes

Alison Thompson

  • # Didn’t crash! it looks great! AGAIN!

  • Image RemovedImage Added

    feedback/action items from flight debrief:

    • Vertical Stabilizer needs reworking for stability

    • Camera mount for next flight test (get Camera info from Anthony Luo ) Arjun Mandair

    • Push motor and power solution to be evaluated @ Icarus sync

Competition Frame updates

Conall Kingshott

Cabin - skin, main cylinder build Conall Kingshott

Image RemovedImage Added

  • working through cabin integration

  • Skin is going to attach to foam ribs using velcro

    • Andrew is working on this, getting extra ribs machined

Front support bar

created

Image Modified
  • May look at a redesign in the future, but not top of the list

Stiffener for Battery Compartment - Hrishik Patel

  • Design done, ready to be printed

Landing gear - Alison Thompson

Image RemovedImage Added
  • Fits well, stiffener cross-bar definitely needed

Nose/tail - Andrew Wright

  • Need to look at coating the existing foam ones

Bay door - Vishal Jayakumar

  • Updates?

CV camera mount - Arjun Mandair

  • Modifying for clearance after test fit?

** Reminders for Comp Frame for General Visibility **

We will need to implement:

  • optical flow sensor on bottom

  • 360-degree-visibility LED lights. must be done in junction with EE

  • forward and downward camera - is this accounted for? - front camera into foam nose cone Megan Spee

  • airspeed sensors need to go on icarus

  • antenna mounting in general

  • arm/disarm switch on the tail - EE junction

    Go to the icarus syncs (TUES 9pm) to stay up-to-date cross subteam

    Flight tests and comp simulations

    Megan Spee

    Flight test this saturday March 18!

    via flight test channel - “the plan is to test that cornflakes can fly reliably in a fixed wing configuration, as well as gather some preliminary battery life data.”

    another flight test March 18

    lets not crash x2

    Tracking antenna

    Megan Spee Andy Zhang Jason Li

    How’s this going Mech - Tracking Antenna

    (cad sprint, sourcing components. Any pitfalls or open questions)

    • Andy Zhang done most of cadding for baseplate/ antenna mounting

    Bounties!

    Outstanding:

    Team sign

    CAD looking good. Notes from Conall:

    • Looks at using bearings on the pitch stage

    • Double check you are using cont rotation servos

    • Needs more fleshing out for all component mounting

    back to weekly meetings!

    Megan Spee

    happy midterm week over for most of you!

    ICARUS synchups - happening on tuesdays weekly, 9pm

    General meetings - thursdays @ 8pm

    you all know this. just a reminder, cause we’ve been off for a while
