Finalize Fabrication/Presentation (2 hrs) Joe Cabelka: 1. Fabrication (4.5 hr) 2. Presentation Prep (2 hr) -Emily and I cut the bottom of the cart to create an open footprint. We finalized the shelf spacing and re-arranged the system components. We also helped with incorporating all of the designs into the final cart. Individually, I spent time running over to Viasys to get some props for our presentation. I also spent some time editing our poster. Jenny Wager: 1. Fabrication (2 hrs) 2. Presentation prep (3 hrs) - This week I started thinking about the most effective way to present our improvements to the cart and started on the presentation. I also mounted the racking system for the cable management and assisted with other areas of fabrication on the cart Emily Andrews: 1. Fabrication (4.5 hr) 2. Presentation prep (1 hr) -Joe and I finished up with the shelving and mounted the keyboard tray system. We also bought some supplies to help finish with the fabrication of the cart. I also started preparing for my part during the presentation. Tony Schuler: 1. Fabrication (5 hr) 2. Update Website (30 min) - This week I updated the website as usual. More importantly though, I finished up fabricating the push-bar. So far the mechanism for raising and lowering works very well, it is just a little hard to slide sometimes, but still moves fairly easily.Total Team Hours (x 4 people) for Week: 8.00 hours Total Individual Hours for Week: 22.50 hours Cumulative Team Hours to Date: 146.15
