Current status of project:
We contacted Dr. Anastasio about the change in project direction and clarified that we cannot limit our work to a comparative feasibility study for mouth guard versus helmet temperature sensors. However, going through the progress report, we have considered design options that would integrate into the helmet, mouth guard, or other location. We will be sure to heavily weigh the fact that the client is now more interested in the possibility of having a sensor in the mouth guard. Independently, each of us has begun to identify and consider certain design options relating to a specific area. Grace has focused on thermometry components and techniques, Norman has focused the means to create an alert system, and Tyler has focused on how to store energy and power the device for the required length of time. This past week we also finalized the non-disclosure agreement between the members of our group and Rawlings Sports.
Work planned for next week:
Work planned for next week:
We plan on having a meeting on Wednesday to identify the most likely design options to fulfill our project requirements. Once we have identified the best design option and reasoning to support that, we can begin to combine the different components that we have worked on. We will also begin to create and organize slides so that we are ready to present next Wednesday.
Anything needed from client or TA or instructor to continue work:
Anything needed from client or TA or instructor to continue work:
We are waiting to have access to CADD drawings of the helmet cushion system and the mouth guard that we may incorporate the system into.
