Gimbal (Cindy, Steven, Josh P)

• Assembled first prototype, works with servo (Sahil tested)

• address problems with assembly

• Test with IMU

Grabber (Kayla, Simon, Cindy, Jackie, Matthew)

• Matthew and Kayla made larger version of prototype (the thermaband triangle shape one)

  • testing weight capabilities

  • if turbulence → likely that object will fall

  • how long can grabber pick up the object? perhaps ideal to have a bottom support

• grabber meeting

• look into actuation:

  • mechanical system

  • force of grab

Frame (Brielle, Justin, Megan, Steven, Carly, Shangheethan, Praven)

• frame plates were laser cut

• aluminum arms were bought (one 5ft long tube)

• servo mounting: aluminum plates bought

• plastic polymer props bought from TMotor (17in should work)

  • under two weeks delivery

  • require less current but have more lift?? so it balances out

  • for final: still go with 18 in

• TMotor motors came in

  • electrical will test these

• aluminum motor mounts have started being cut

• from Sahil: prop protection

• assembly

• finish aluminum motor mounts tomorrow-ish

• decide on arm length

• 3d print the spacers

Landing (Josh H, Brielle, Matthew from Grabber, Praven)

• research

• can integrate with grabber?

• drone feet

Battery mount (Megan, Kayla)

Done

Done

Camera testing rig (Josh)

• threaded rod and wooden board picked up

• waiting on 3D print

• machine the rod and finish up CAD

General things

• old 3D printer looks like it might work! It is CSA approved (Josh P)

• get it working
