week of 10/25

The first prototype was picked up from Prof. Youseffi. Since the original CAD model had to be scaled down 10%, one minor mistake was made (the mounting bracket dimensions were too small) which will be resolved in the next model. Currently I am awaiting on my partner to develop additional drawings for concept generation purposes, as this second prototype will incorporate more aesthetic aspects to it.

AJ gave the idea of utilizing the bottom of the cabin as that will be the portion that will be mostly seen by people from below. Currently the idea is to sell that space for advertisements so that it can act as a mobile billboard.

I will hopefully be able to get a CAD model of the cabin drawn up by next class meeting .
