Presentation #2

Currently, I am stressing over our second presentation. I am going over the feedback from our first presentation and seeing key areas where we can improve. I feel that a little overlap cover areas missing in the last presentation would be advantageous to our presentation.

We began to look into sources to supply aluminum for the solar panel frame and rotation hinge. We also need to look into gaining shop access and figuring out what times and days we can meet up to work on prototyping and fabricating.

Furthermore, the sponsorship letter and list of potential sponsors are coming to together. We can begin to send out letters next week.

This week we began testing the mechanical bogie loaded. I started to compile a list of components of the bogie.

A draft of the sponsorship letter was created. Further, search for companies and contacts to reach out to has began.

After viewing some of the presentations last week, I gained a better direction in terms of how to further refine our presentation. Previously, it was not entirely clear what the presentation should consist of. Several sections that I am currently improving on are background, research, and prior year's design failures. These points are critical and lays the foundation for our design.
