Work Completed

  • Built 4 additional Hatch covers for a total of five (5) total. 
  • Made significant progress on the horizontal slide
  • Decided that no angular displacement device is needed.   
  • Decided that a piston will be used to move the hatch mechanism forward about 8" for placement on rocket ship. 

Challenges

Making the horizontal slide carriage compatible with the horizontal slide.

Keeping our work table clean/not cluttered with trash/shavings/tools.

Work for Next Meeting

Jobs for Prototype #1 (tabled at the moment, need to move on to other prototypes)

Have better test parameters 

Might want to 3D print the parts instead of using the bolts and add some more reinforcement/cushion to the bolts 

We should get some data if there is an angular problem with the drivetrain and if so how much

Horizontal Slide

Finish Slide

  • Reduce speed of chain motor.

Test mechanism

Other Tasks
Go through all designs and make sure every single one is on the drive

Build the practice hatch if it is routed (very close to being finished)

Record and discuss pros and cons and modify prototype based on testing data (We have pros & cons but now we need to record data for tests for multiple prototypes that we have considered to be our best designs).

If done with the first prototype, sort and rank the remaining designs, and create prototypes for the best.

Begin thinking about which prototype we want to begin building/further testing.
