Budget

WE ARE CLOSE TO BEING DONE WITH THE BUDGET!!!

• Big things just add details to each item of y’alls subsystem

  • I’ve added the items for most of the Unsprung and Steering

• Kayla – finish up suspension and add notes

• For things we don’t need need this semester put a lower priority on it. Like stock we will need so it can be set to 5 but do we really need shocks or things this semester or could it be put on next year’s budget? Things like that

• Past budgets for reference:

  • 2023-2024

  • 2022-2023

System Requirements

• Workday tomorrow should give us a better idea of what we need from SRR

• I’m gonna be honest I’m still a little confused about SRR and things related to that

• Links that might help understand SRR:

  • Electric Project Management

  • Electric Dynamics SRR Presentation

  • Electric Dynamics SRR Recording

    • Give them a part and ask them to explain to you what it is

    • Ask them to explain their portfolio

    • Show them a diagram and ask them the forces acting on the part (tires, uprights)

    • Show them the dynamics assembly and ask them to ask us questions about it

    • How do you go about completing a task without clear information?

    •  

Week Plan

• Start populating and adding information to the 101 documents. The learnings you are doing on say bearing selection for unspurng or how to do hardpoints can be used for both your knowledge for SRR and the 101 documents. Plus you can add stuff more complex now and work backwards later to add the more simple things.

  • I want to see braindump or notes on it by next workday (9/7/2024)

• @Kayla Lee Suspension 101

• @Evan Zhang Steering 101

• @Samiksh Medudula Unsprung 101

Goals for myself

• Figure out how to do SRR and how it works by next dynamics meeting.

• Ensure budget is finished

• Read and write down notes
