Today was the first time we were able to view the parts of the Boe-Bot and look at the manuals. Last week, Robert and I developed an idea to use the Boe-Bot as a mail delivery device (featured on team consensus linked below). However, this idea was deemed unrealistic when we were made aware of the actual dimensions of the Boe-Bot (it is barely bigger than a sticky note). So, we went back to the drawing board.
Today, Robert and I worked on filling out our team contract and team consensus. We also worked on defining our problem statement and developing a realistic function for the Boe-Bot. We decided we'd like to create a Driver's Ed training device that Driver's Ed instructors use in the classroom to show the students the specific obstacles that will be tested on the state driving test. The Boe-bot will perform a set of programmed obstacles (ex: parallel parking and avoiding orange cones) in succession to simulate the state driving test. Although each state has a different driving test, the Boe-Bot can be customized for each state's test.
This week, we are also starting to work on our WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) for the Boe-Bot project. Robert and I know this will be a very detailed report of the procedures and steps necessary to complete this project and are a little intimidated because we don't want to leave a step out of the report or misjudge the respective time requirements for the objectives.
