Week 4, Wednesday
General
We are taking inventory of what we need for the tethered launch.
CAD
We have made revisions to the bottom holder and rail components of the dust capturing system and are going to start printing one or both pieces of the assembly today.
We are also sanding down the newer lid to reduce friction and add clearance.
Circuits
We are still testing how to compensate for the motors' low torque. The two methods we are considering are using a higher voltage to yield more torque and using two motors per assembly and have them operate slower.
Cameras
We are trying to determine if aluminum and/or mylar foil will aid in reducing heat buildup as initially hypothesized. Of the websites and reviews read, it seems mylar is the better solution. It is more reflective, provides more insulation, and is lighter than aluminum foil.
