12/5/12, 13:44 Dr. Clark’s impression of our presentation

• 1st slide: Needs a picture
• 2nd/3rd slide: Cut the picture in half, show each obstacle on the picture sequentially as you step through the list of items individually
• 4th slide: We talk about the improvements on last year’s design
  • Should we show last year’s design
    • Saying that ours is better is fine
• The rest of the slides are our components
  • Maybe leave a thumbnail image of the CAD model on each of the components for reference
  • Mention which ones are inherited and not
  • Take out the max impulse amperage on the thrusters
  • Take out the part about the beacon dropper being from the first team
  • Power system:
    • take out all but the first bullets
    • Clearly show which are new
  • Electronics
    • Highlight the important focal points
  • Move the cameras to the old section
  • Move Depth section to new?
  • Just highlight the new items on the slides
• Top level diagram image should be used to organize the others
  • Either put it at the front or use it to wrap up
• Delete? the power system circuit diagrams
  • Here’s how the mechanical fits together - NO, just regroup things in subsystems
  • Here’s how the communications fits together
  • Here’s how the electronics (power) fits together: one slide
  • Out a cad picture in the subsystem overview
• Revisit the CAD design at the end
  • Take out the picture of Alex at the end and replace it with the CAD model
• Really emphasize what we’ve done this semester
  • We’ve made a design
  • Maybe have a slightly different (prettier) image of our CAD model
  • Mention our goal to go to San Diego to reemphasize competition goal
  • Nice narrative arc, want to tell a story
• Will want lots of videos in the final presentation
• Want to make use of that dude Sam Taylor introduced us to
  • We should send our presentation to this dude and see if he sees any red flags on our design
