Week 6 Supervisor Meeting

I showed my gripper design to Dr. Judhi this week. After examining it, he graciously allowed me to utilise the 3D printer in the RoboTechX lab to print my device mount. I also showed my Use-case diagram for feedback which he approved.

After the print was ready, I visited him again to show him the 3D-printed mount. He suggested adding a protective layer on the cue stick, such as paper, to keep the plastic from scraping the surface of the cue stick. I then proceeded to make this adjustment and successfully fastened the mount to the cue stick before presenting it to him again. He was pleased with the results and suggested an alternative design in which the device holder could be attached to the mount using screws if time permits later after the successful completion of the deliverables.

Moving forward, Dr. Judhi urged me to focus on two crucial areas next week:

1. Data is collected only during the spike (when a shot is detected).

2. Sending all captured data to Firebase for further processing later.

These will be my next steps as I continue to refine the project next week.
