Anything else?
2.3 ~ Cross-beam Design Review
Design needs to be finalized.
Is the Ikea, twisting locking mechanism feasible?
2.4 ~ Proof of Concept Clarification
Proof of concept calls for REFERRING to ASTM E695 for impact testing. It does not require us to follow the standard strictly.
Don't need to prove anything acoustic-wise for proof of concept
Generally, there are no specific ASTM standards we need to prove (which means we don't have to test the criteria), however, it would be best if we tested the criteria we have outlined in the testing report to bring credibility to our research efforts.
2.5 ~ Prototype
~ $8000 budgeted to build it
Physical prototype due by end of June.
