  • Figure out how people can maximize the amount of on-site work (take things home, go into bay, what they can accomplish)

  • Figure out all tasks that can be delegated + how can we make them so that those people can help the onsite team (creating BOMs, Digikey, test plans)

  • Role shifts / assignments --> onsite vs. offsite leads (onboarding), who needs support where people take stuff done but end up blocked or can’t --> how to minimize that, how to achieve the mental state to push or ask for support --> will people be more motivated if given more responsibilities?

No specific dates since COVID might just screw everything up… will use time estimates 😢

    • Elcon Charger to mockup battery

  • Precharge

  • BMS

    • Connect power supply to each channel, verify lower and upper faults

  • Solar Sense → can test outside (tongue) (MPPT layout)

  • Don’t have a load to test motors… Need to put it on the car

Sorry, Renzo

Carryover from Fall 2020

Carryover from Winter 2021

All onsite tasks:

  • Assembling final versions of boards (HW)

    • PD

    • PS (done)

    • Steering

    • Lights

    • Solar

    • UV Cutoff

    • Notes:

      • Aashmika has the reflow at home to assemble most boards

      • if lockdown happens, this can still be done at Aashmika’s house.

    • Unit test boards once they return

      • if designs are flawed, board needs to be resent (at any stage)

  • Integrate into mockup (February) - must be onsite

    • Displays

    • Horn

    • Cameras

    • Telemetry Router

  • Mockup Testing

    • Solar

    • BMS Full (Pending Battery pack, and other testing)

    • MCI, Limit testing for Motors (includes carryover from F2020)

    • Full Mockup Integration (w/ displays)

    • Worst case: bleed into Spring

  • Complete all harnessing/make diagram for full vehicle (near EOT)

    • Includes layout

    • Note: this is offsite, if lockdown, will move this task to Jan

  • Finalize Enclosures Layout
    (to plan for post W2021)

Spring Term
