Notes

Action

Conop review meetings

  • Recap conops session organization, what can we do better in terms of organizing the discussion

  • Decisions and outcomes based on the conop meetings

  • Do we want to have a design diagram that is presentable so that we can have a meeting with SDC or Prof Derek about design decisions? or maybe consult this problem with external connections (Ray has a connection to talk about how to do things in CV)

Ideas to proposals. Collections of ideas.

Conops Planning Meeting 2

Things are going to change, iterate.

Break up into groups is good.

The lecture hall is not good for that.

People tends to talk about the design, we need to structure the discussion better.

Do it as soon as possible, schedule this ahead.

Didn’t have good ways to submit ideas.

Online is hard, not able to hear people in person. Audio quality camera facing everyone. Hard to integrate with in person.

Taking notes is good.

Ask about design reviews in SDC

Merch

appoint new ops ppl to do that with guidance

End of September, discuss about pricing.

Jeff following up fundraiser ideas.

Budget

requested by Anni

  • how much total do we have available to spend over certain key categories?

    • what are the key categories

    • where is that money coming from and how flexible is that money.

  • How much do we want to spend now vs later?

    • this goes for all sub teams

  • New SDC Procurement method follow up?

    • how else to get things that go out of stock quickly?

ask ops to update spreedsheet.

Competition

  • Pilots

    • Anna Anni confirmed, Andy confirmedor someone else????? (???)

  • How are test flights organized, does any team (logistics, sysint, etc) want to take charge in getting these ready? → should we consider doing a competition simulation run sometime over winter?

Training airframes

  • build in house (phoenix style) or buy? (we should buy at least one ots)

  • how much budget for thesebudget, updates for the rest of team

  • test flights?

Onsite

  • how are things going with ee?

  • are we keeping the bay clean?

  • How should we track inventory?

no much happening, async PCB design, get phoenix soldering soon.

Conops planning

  • 4+1

  • OFS + ToF on FW

  • Camera on CV?

  • Batteries

    • 2 big batteries for task #1, smaller batteries for task #2?

    • to be tested → characterize with one set for distance (t1 worth more points), and then expand into second set for more possibilities.

  • testing airframes? optimizing motor / battery weights?

  • Carrying passengers

    • some mechanism to slide seats out of aircraft (so easier to put people in).

    • Consider that payload wants to be entered around CG

  • CV on the landing pad, optimizing routing, IMACS

  • Mech: Fixed-wing, quadcopter, phoenix

  • EE: Zeropilot. schematic done, PCB layout ongoing.
