The following people will work on the following items (if you hadn't responded with a preference, I have assigned you an item.) Names of people are in bold, due dates are italics.
4/11 - Jacob - Pneumatics - this would involve finding and purchasing a good AC compressor, putting together a safe pneumatic circuit for sending power down to the ROV, finding and fitting the FESTO valves with the appropriate fittings for our pneumatic lines, and ensuring that all pneumatics are fully compliant with MATE guidelines.
4/17 - Adrian - Ballast/Electronics tanks - this would involve getting the tubing which we have just ordered for the ballast and electronics tanks cut to length, drafting mechanical drawings for the PSU people or Larry staver to machine end caps with, purchasing appropriate O-rings for sealant, and devising a way of allowing for cable ingress on two of the end caps (using cord grips, or maybe just epoxy).
prototype by 4/13, tested, final design by 4/23 - Jacob, Leada - Temperature - this would involve designing a way of using our thermoresistor sensor from 2007 to measure the temperature of the vents in this year's competition, ideally using a flexible cone as outlined in the temperature design proposal. The person(s) to take this on would need to test this system using the MATE props in an actual swimming pool in order to determine the efficacy of the designs. In addition, whoever takes this on would probably end up being the person on the drive team who deals with the sensor readout and produces temperature graphs.
prototype by 4/13, tested, final design by 4/23 - Caro, Sayer - Agar collector - this is one of the parts of the machine that has not yet been designed. And it really needs to be designed and tested. The person who takes this on would design, build, and test an agar collector system to collect 200ml of agar from the cup.
Ordered by 4/6, tested by 2 days after delivery, mounted on rov and tested by 2 days after testing - Jacob - Hydrophone
