04.2.3 Iteration Documentation
Our design process has been crafted to prioritize two critical objectives: limiting cost and amplifying speed. This dual focus has allowed us to develop an incredibly efficient and responsive system, enabling us to electronically and remotely demonstrate our builds with remarkable ease and effectiveness.
Our journey began with a foundational phase dedicated to theoretical modeling and initial design conceptualization. This involved in-depth modeling of our end-effector acceleration, utilizing advanced simulation techniques to predict and optimize performance. Simultaneously, rough models were generated in SolidWorks, providing preliminary visual and structural representations of our designs. Concurrently, we initiated the generation of our repository for software, establishing the groundwork for code management and collaborative development.
Moving seamlessly through these foundational steps, our efforts transitioned into a more advanced development phase. We meticulously built out our GitHub repository, transforming it into a comprehensive hub for all project documentation, version control, and team collaboration. This ensured a transparent and well-organized approach to our work. Subsequently, our SolidWorks models were refined and finalized, incorporating insights gained from the initial modeling and adhering to our engineering specifications. With our designs fully established, we embarked on the stage of printing our prototypes, bringing our digital creations into the physical realm for tangible testing and validation.
