Evaluate 3-wheel design for PDR
Solution:
IDK HOW TF TO DO THISWork on validating the car bit by bit on subsystem level
Engineering drawing checks shouldn’t just be checked by a peer when made, but have a proper validation system
Solution:
Drawings should follow ASME-Y drawing standards
We can use the other two cars as reference for learning along with Google
In industry you can release something, then you can do three signatures (your immediate superior, then the lead, then the chief engineer or mechanical lead)
Our structure for this would be person manufacturing → system or subsystem leads → Andrew Chang, Mechanical Lead, or ChiefE
If a system lead or subsystem lead is the one manufacturing then the checking system should go as follows:
system or subsystem lead → system lead or subsystem lead → Andrew Chang, Mechanical Lead, or ChiefE
Have a larger checking system to ensure that the parts that are being manufactured are known by the leads and everyone is on-board with how it is being made.
+/- 5 pounds is a good start but doesn’t actually give us an idea of where to base our numbers on to know how much +/- we can actually do for weight
Solution:
Measure weight tolerance part by part instead to accurately know the weight if it’s going to be a machined surface then you can just estimate the part weight based on the material and be close to CAD since it should be pretty accurate when machined
If it’s something that we don’t machine then take the dimension of the part increase it by 5 thou and find the weight from that
Make sure to use public channels for communication
Solution:
Use @messages rather than dms for technical conversations so everyone can learn from them or add feedback as needed. This has to be a collective effort that the system lead can’t completely manage.
Regulations understanding
Solution:
Have everyone read our regulations related to dynamics + our VDR related to dynamics to help justify last year + new regs
