Group meeting : New idea for mechanic system

Today we had a group meet during the break to discuss about the mechanism of our project. The diagram below was drawn by Janu. We brainstormed and came up with this new mechanism system. The inspiration of this work delivered from yuki's parking system research in Japan. The significant part of the research was the 'plate' that can be align and transform the object into different position.

According to the diagram above, the steps of the system is as followed;
1. Plate 2 move along rail 2 (horizontal rail) under selected box.
2.Selected box moves down rail 1 (vertical rail) pass rail 2 and stops.
3. Plate 2 moves along rail 2 till the end.
4. Plate 3 moves up rail 3
5. Plate 2 moves back left along rail
6. Plate 3 moves down

One thing that we did not mention in today's discussion was what is going to be the driver of the box. We will discuss this with the rest of the group member on the next class. At this state the diagram will be passed on to olivia and ben to work on the animation demonstrated the draft system of our device.

We also decided to make a new grant chart for the timeline to assign a new tasks for each member. This is of cause going to be more precise.
