Talk:Cleanroom Cleaning Robot

Mentor comments for 5/15/14
(Otherwise the intro paragraph feels like it drops you into some complicated design prompt from Junkyard Wars or Myth Busters )
 * Page Description:
 * Good description overall. Although you may want to start the first sentence off with:
 * "This capstone senior design project consisted of designing and constructing a system..."
 * "The team was tasked with designing and constructing a system..."
 * "The goal of project was to design and construct a system..."
 * "The Clean Room Roomba project required a team of mechanical and electrical engineering students to design and construct a system..."


 * Clean Room Roomba:
 * Project Statement :
 * Take this subsection out to avoid repeating the same information.
 * Instead you could include a section on the Background of the project.
 * Answer the sorts of questions that the uneducated reader might want to know. What is a Roomba (Possibly include a link to their website or wikipedia page)? Why does your client wants this? Why hasn't Roomba already made one of these themselves? What makes the project difficult or otherwise interesting?


 * Project Description:
 * Design Goals
 * Might want to mention that it must move autonomously though out it's environment for readers who aren't familiar with Roombas and have never watched a cat riding one on youtube.


 * Design Specifications
 * Include a level 3 subsection under Project Description titled Design Specifications
 * List out any of the basic requirements/specifications of the design as established by the client:
 * Which model(s) of Roomba should the system work with?
 * What should the cost of the final product be?
 * How much can the additional components weigh?


 * Testing:
 * Good use of tables. Include more columns to convey the information more easily.
 * The columns could be titled:
 * Test (photo/description)
 * Goal of Experiment
 * Test Setup (basis setup of the experiment for anyone that would want to repeat it)
 * Results
 * Significance of results in the design (What did you learn? What did you need to change)


 * Final Concept:
 * Main Ideas :
 * Change Main Ideas to Key Aspects of Final Design to sound more professional.
 * Some of these would also fit under the Design Specifications subsection above if they were factors that influenced the design from the beginning.


 * Mystery Machiners:
 * The bios in your team section should be written in 3rd person. No "I" or "My".

It is absolutely required to have this section completed before graduation
 * Appendices:
 * Required:
 * Final report
 * Presentations
 * Design reviews
 * Expo Poster
 * All design documents necessary to make your work reproducible (i.e. SolidWorks files, Wiring Schematics, Math models)
