discussing. The hardest milestone to meet is the start of the documentation. After the rough draft review, we plan on finishing up our final documentation and order parts for next semester to build. Our goals and milestones for Senior Design 2 is reasonable and doable. We must follow and abide by these dated milestones to finish our project. Our goals and milestones for Senior Design 1 on our Collide 3 AVM project were half real and half idea of what we would like to happen. Meeting our milestones, we were successful for the most part as far as meetings and keeping track of what we need to do. On the other hand, researching what we need to know about our senior design project and starting to write about our senior design project was not as easy as we thought it would be. In most of our meetings which we had to discuss our project progress, we were only able to complete a portion of our milestone. We were never able to finish one hundred percent of what we wanted to be done. There were some milestones that were pushed back such as our meeting with Dr. Josh Colwell, which pushed our research back a little further because we did not get the info we needed to continue our research. With that aside, we manage to still continue and pushed on to the next topic so we do not get too far behind. We eventually did meet with Dr. Josh Colwell in his lab and he was able to show us a sample of what he wants the Collide AVM to look like from previous models. It gave us a better understanding of what he wanted and how the project should look like, but it was quite different. The older Collide AVM used a whole motherboard with hard drives and all like a computer. Of course we are not allowed to use a motherboard or anything that is premade. Thus, we have a lot on our plate as to using a microcontroller or a FPGA board, but that is what we expected to happen. We expected our project to be hard and challenging. We have 6 meetings. meetings are for us to insure that we are on time. We have to check our research and writing progress from time to time. These meetings are also for us to discuss what we need to accomplish in the time frame that it needs to be done. Without meetings, we would probably not know our position and where we stand. Thus, meetings are also important for the milestones. 22.1 Senior Design 1
