Teamwork: Fabrication (TEAM 19)
Team Roles:
Design Lead: Karishma Tallreja
Software Engineering Lead: Ruhan Jawed Khanani
Test Engineering Lead: Minh Nguyen
Product Development Lead: Dhanvanth Rayulu Ramayanam
Project Engineering Lead: Donte Campbell
Design Lead (Karishma Tallreja):
Our team has unanimously decided to design and fabricate a toy car for children aged 4-6. This choice was made after a thorough discussion and evaluation of various design possibilities. We considered factors such as safety, simplicity, and appeal to the target age group. The toy car design aligns well with these criteria, as it promises to engage children in imaginative play and provide an enjoyable learning experience.
Software Engineering Lead (Ruhan Jawed Khanani):
# Sensor Integration Code
# This code integrates the sensor for our following robot.
# It reads data from the sensor and adjusts the robot's movement accordingly.
import sensor_library # Import the sensor library
def initialize_sensor():
# Initialize the sensor
sensor = sensor_library.Sensor()
return sensor
def read_sensor_data(sensor):
# Read sensor data
data = sensor.read_data()
return data
def adjust_movement(data):
# Analyze sensor data and adjust robot's movement
if data < 50:
move_forward()
else:
stop()
def move_forward():
# Code to make the robot move forward
pass
def stop():
# Code to stop the robot
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
sensor = initialize_sensor()
while True:
data = read_sensor_data(sensor)
adjust_movement(data)
Product Development Lead (Dhanvanth Rayulu Ramayanam):
Our team's fabrication plan involves 3D printing the enclosure for the toy car. We believe 3D printing offers precision and customization, ensuring the toy car meets our design specifications. The timeline for
completion is as follows:
1. Design the 3D model of the toy car enclosure - 2 weeks
2. Select and calibrate the 3D printer - 1 week
3. 3D print the parts - 3 weeks
4. Assemble the toy car - 2 weeks
5. Quality testing and adjustments - 2 weeks
6. Finalize the product - 1 week
Project Engineering Lead (Donte Campbell):
In our team, we have identified several strengths and weaknesses. Some strengths include effective communication, a shared project vision, and a diverse skill set among team members. However, we have
also recognized weaknesses such as potential inexperience with 3D printing and a need for more detailed project planning.
Minutes from the meeting:
- Discussed and selected the toy car design for children aged 4-6.
- Assigned specific roles and responsibilities to each team member.
- Established a timeline for the project, emphasizing 3D printing as the primary fabrication method.
- Highlighted the importance of regular progress updates and collaborative teamwork.

- Donte Campbell will provide regular team updates and facilitate communication.
- The team will conduct preliminary performance tests and report the results in the next meeting.
Meeting Adjourned: 6:00 PM
Test Engineering Lead (Minh Nguyen):
In our preliminary testing, we successfully integrated the sensor into the robot's code. The sensor data was accurately read, and the robot's movement was adjusted based on the data. Specifically, when the sensor detected an obstacle within 50 units, the robot moved forward, and when the obstacle was farther away, the robot stopped. We will continue testing to fine-tune the sensor's sensitivity and
ensure consistent performance in various real-world scenarios that children might encounter while playing with the toy car.
