Applications and implications
Comments
What will it do?
- Explain a little bit in more the project. You should say that it can be controlled with a joystick or mobile phone.
Who has done what beforehand?
- Explain a bit what ideas you could take from the provided related work. Explain also each one of the projects in a little bit more detail.
What will you design?
- OK
What materials and components will be used?
-
You could add in the components the name of the motor driver your are using. If you can provided more detailed info it would be better. Actually, this is going to be useful in the final project when you define the BOM.
-
The clamp is going to be 3D printed, so it does not need to be here. You are not going to acquire, but you are going to fabricate it.
-
Estimate the number of nuts and bolds, stepper motor drivers, microcontroller.
-
What about the controller? Are you using a joystick? Then it should be included here.
Where will they come from?
- Where did you buy the rods and bearing?
- Are there any other components?
How much will it cost?
- Have an estimation of the prices of electronical components + material:
- For electronical components use Fab inventory: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1U-jcBWOJEjBT5A0N84IUubtcHKMEMtndQPLCkZCkVsU/pub?single=true&gid=0&output=html
- For 3D printing pieces, you can have an estimation based on the m3 and the following excel sheet that you can find in our page: https://gitlab.com/fab-lab-oulu/Fab-Lab-Oulu-Documentation/-/wikis/attachments/69797335/74613210.xlsx
What parts and systems will be made?
It is OK. I would provide a sketch of the whole system, just to make easier to visualize the different parts and how they are connected with each other.
What processes will be used?
OK
What questions need to be answered?
- Add question mark at the end of the questions you list.
- Could you be a little bit more specific in the questions, they are too general. When you say how it will be moved, what exactly do you mean: mechanically? what electronics would you need to use?
- About accuracy: Your question is more: what will be my accuracy? Would it be enough for my purpose? How can I improve the accuracy
How will it be evaluated?
-
Define more clear metrics:
- How would you evaluate teh functionality? What is the minimum functtionality? What is the minimum accuracy you would consider it as success.
- How would you measure innovation?
- What do you mean with the "required units to be covered"
-
In this section you should answer how would you define your project a success. So more clear metrics should be given.

Great that you have a schedule. Would be nice to track if you are on scheduling or not.
