10.  Prototyping will be done with low cost easily machined materials  Materials such as plywood and cardboard are examples of such materials  Test Stand will be built out of low cost materials that accurately portray school facilities  To save money we are trying to work with facilities to get parts such as a door handle

11.  Final design will be constructed from materials such as aluminum and steel  To save money we will be attempting to get donations for the material we require, as well as use left over material from previous years

12.  Our current budget was developed without consideration of possible donations  Design changes might drastically change what is required  A small buffer was made in the budget to compensate for this

22.  Purpose  To take the initial ideas from the team and improve upon them through iterative analysis and coordinated material selection to produce detailed engineering drawings for fabrication.

23.  Goals  To apply our knowledge gained in class in designing project components  To produce the best possible components using the analysis skills and tools at our disposal  To apply technical skills, communication skills, and the engineering design process into the project

24.  Design components as specified by the team’s brainstorming sessions  Use computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering tools to transition from ideas to finished designs through a process of iterative analysis  Work with Research and Finance Sub-team to perform material and part selection  Produce production drawings for Fabrication and Testing Sub-team

31.  This sub-team will be functioning in a support role for the next semester.  If problems arise in the fabrication and testing phase of the Design and Analysis Sub-team will be ready to modify plans

33. Design and Analysis Sub-Team William Rae Fabrication and Testing Feedback: Jameson L Tai Design Modifications: William Rae and Jameson L. Tai Analysis Modifications: William Rae

34.  This sub-team works to ensure all designs will function within the following regulations and guidelines:  Safety as defined by Florida Institute of Technology  Robotics operation guidelines as set by Dr. Larochelle  OSHA STD 01-12-002 - PUB 8-1.3, robotics guidelines  By following these guidelines we are able to ensure the safety of the people, machine and building.

35.  This team uses a combination of engineering skills and modern tools to identify the problem and step through the engineering process ending with the production of detailed drawings from which the Fabrication and Testing Sub-team can produce components.

36.  The ability to combine core engineering skills like productive brainstorming and design visualization with modern computer engineering tools provides us with the ability to successfully find a place in a career that is constantly evolving and yet relies on age old essentials.

37.  The sub-team successfully worked together to translate a problem into designs of producible tools to interface with existing machinery and accomplish specific tasks.  The team has remained on schedule throughout this project so far and is fully prepared to remain on task and on schedule for the remainder of the project.

39.  Introduction to Sub-team Task  Design Objectives for Sub-team Task  Sub-team Plan for Next Semester  Ethical Behavior of Sub-team  Discussion on Life-long Learning  Conclusion

40.  Purpose  To fabricate parts and assemblies according to specifications provided by the Design and Analysis Sub-team  To adhere to design guidelines, goals, and financial plan set by the Research and Finance Sub-team  To properly test the fabricated tools and tool holders and subject them to a reasonable amount of tests to evaluate its repeatability, reliability, and functionality.

41.  Goals  To apply technical skills, communication skills, and the engineering design process into the project  To fabricate parts according to specifications safely and accurately  To design and construct a testing apparatus to ensure safe operation of the PantherBot before deploying to live hallway tests  To operate safely during testing while protecting the PantherBot, its operator(s), and any persons or objects the PantherBot may come in contact with

42.  Effectively fabricate parts to specifications set by Design and Analysis Sub-Team and materials researched and selected by the Research and Finances Sub-Team  Test tools and tool holders by constructing a test rig which will effectively simulate doors in Olin Engineering Complex, as well as buttons and door panels  Make sure the tools fabricated are tested enough such that repeatability can be reached.

43.  This sub-team will begin work once materials ordered by the Research and Finance Sub- Team arrives.  Fabrication of parts will begin in conjunction to begin coding on the PantherBot to accept the tools and teach it to operate the tools.

44.  Test rig construction will begin after all tools and tool holders are fabricated.  Testing phase will begin after the rig has been set up.  Detailed schedule noted in Gantt Chart.

47.  This sub-team works to ensure all designs will function within the following regulations and guidelines:  Rules and Regulations defined by Florida Institute of Technology Machine Shop  29 CFR 1910.252 – Occupational Safety and Health Standards will be followed in the Machine Shop when welding, cutting, and brazing 29 CFR 1910.252 Standards based on U. S. Department of Labor – Occupational Safety & Health Administration

48.  OSHA 3151-12R 2003 will be followed when necessary regarding personal protective equipment OSHA 3151-12R 2003  Robotics operation rules as set by Dr. Pierre Larochelle, Director of the Florida Tech Robotics and Spatial Systems Laboratory  OSHA STD 01-12-002 - PUB 8-1.3 will be followed regarding guidelines for robotics safety OSHA STD 01-12-002 - PUB 8-1.3 Standards based on U. S. Department of Labor – Occupational Safety & Health Administration

49.  Adhering to these guidelines will make sure that the tools fabricated and the tool holder will not harm the PantherBot, its surroundings and hardware that it will be in contact with.  This is important to keep the project within design objectives and goals set by the team.

50.  To stay current in fabrication:  New developments in part fabrication ▪ new CNC machines, ▪ CNC coding, ▪ drawing integration with machine shop machinery ▪ Ways to produce intended parts faster with increased precision  When working in this area, a sharp knowledge of how to machine a part, its design intent, and effectively and efficiently doing so is required have a successful career.

51.  To stay current in testing,  Stay current in related technology and interdisciplinary fields ▪ Materials science and engineering ▪ Fracture mechanics ▪ Computer-aided engineering (modeling, analysis, and simulation) of possible testing rigs, experiments, processes ▪ and other interdisciplinary fields  In testing, some mechanical engineering students become test engineers in the field.  Test engineers research and develop ways, techniques, processes, procedures, and experiments to test a part, an assembly, a set of processes, or a finish product.

52.  Pending the arrival of materials, the Fabrication and Testing Sub-team will begin fabricating the tools and tool holders  Fabrication is projected to end by mid- February 2009  Construction of the test rig and software integration with the PantherBot is projected to be complete by late-February 2009

53.  Full testing phase is projected to be completed by mid-March 2009  Senior Design Showcase set to be on April 3, 2009  The sub-team is on-time and will split up sub- team tasks as shown in its sub-team organization section
