22. Pretty good level of detail
Team 20 – Fall Schedule
*Mike
This is our Level 1 Schedule
How I broke it up
Light green is background research and training necessary to better understand and begin the project
Green is our experimental testing of the low momentum configuration to establish a baseline set of data
Yellow is Design, Analysis, and Testing of High-Momentum gas cane configurations
Orange is Design and Analysis of Medium-Momentum configuration
Red is major deliverables for Senior Design
Team meeting twice a week: tuesdays and fridays, usually sundays as well
We’ve met with sponsor once, staying in contact via with questions
I take minutes during our weekly meetings where we discuss current tasks, future tasks, questions, etc.
Weekly meetings with advisor (Dr. Zhao)
Team meetings at least twice a week
Additional meetings with sponsor are scheduled when necessary
Pretty good level of detail

What is the mitigation action??
Oral 3 risks:
Problems with drop system: Extensive testing has proved system to be reliable
Sponsor disapproval design: Met with sponsor, received approval and instructions for final delivery
Damage to instrumentation system during testing: System has been exposed to impacts in excess of 100g without issue.
Tests do not match up with simulations: Extensive testing has proved system to be reliable

Risk Analysis                                                 
More Concise descriptions.
Include numbers
Equipment Accuracy - Actuator must correctly read the input from the laser and move within a tight tolerance. Software cannot have any problems as other software is not compatible with this actuator that we know of. Also we had a delay in formal testing of the actuator due to late arrival/learning curve associated with setting up actuator.
Budget - Currently at the very limits of our $4500 budget. Actuator cost around $3800. Still have couple materials we need to order for demo day. Also still need to manufacture the tool holder in the SOE machine shop with Pete and Jim’s help.
Actuator Software- Software has presented a few problems over the course of the last week; however these have been solved. Hoping to not encounter any more problems when the software is used with the actuator as well as the laser.
What problems?
