Task | Owner | Reference | Notes | Date | Budget (Remove before Mech Meeting) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Antenna Tracker | Nolan is working on this and wants hardware to test by July? | July 15, 2023? | “Materials” <$100 | ||
Medium Testing Drone (Phoenix/Houston/Vanny replacement) | Do we want to consider this? Materials aren’t bad, and it can be a long-term project (3-4 terms?). This is a response to the concerns that “Houston is too small for all our sensors” and we only have 1 Vanny. Try to get done for EFS to try flying ZP3 some day? Control system cost is my concern. | July, 2024? | $60/Frame or aluminum Control system??? Vanny? | ||
Comp 2024 Base Drone | Requirements are not ironed out, so it’s hard to say. That meeting is Tuesday. Likely either X, or H quad running a combo on the sheet below. Have “ready” for Fall term? Anni has made motor selection reference! | August 31, 2023 | 3 sets of ~$700/4 motors (https://shop.compositescanada.com/#/product/CFT-22X20TW ) ~$500 of aluminum, chemicals, fasteners, filament, etc. Total: $3400 | ||
Simulation knowledge-base | Conall knows negative amounts about SIM. | ??? | $0 | ||
Fixed Wing for EFS? | ??? | ??? | ??? | ||
PID Tuning | Here we go again! Do we need this for ZP? Design medium testing drone with PID tuning in mind??? | July 2024? | $100 | ||
New Templates | We need new templates that load in properly, use proper units and good drafting standards. | June 15, 2023 | $0 | ||
Onsites!
⤴ Decisions
tracking antenna MVP is high priority, but low quality requirements
has to be good enough that Nolan can test the software on it by mid july
can be iterated on later for comp
mid size testing frame, smaller than vanny larger than houston is ideal. However, may be too much to do and eat into budget
can use vanny and houston instead? both aren’t quite suited
ideally we get this in summer so controls-experienced members can lead a lot of the integration and testing
the cost of making this whole new thing probably doesn’t make it worth it to use
fairly low priority, can cope with vanny and houston
can mod houston to make it more weight efficient
different lighter legs
extra plate to make it lighter
