Major Week 7 Action Items  Mike - Complete Tx Box  Tyler - Backpack Assembly  Ben - Finish Electronics box, quick connect  Eric -  TJ - Populate and Debug PCBs  Killian - Renderings and Assembly

Lessons Learned Mike Tyler o Make sure to double check other peoples work thoroughly if your work is dependent on theirs. It's not okay to assume the thought of every problem that could arise. Ben o Double check offset calculations

Lessons Learned cont. Eric TJ o SMT population takes a long time and first revisions of boards often need to be reworked and modified for prototyping applications Killian o You can print two items at once with 3-D printers, 3- D printing quality is very limited in the innovation center
