Phase 3: Theoretical Work

Sprint 6, February 7 — February 21

The goal of this sprint was to work off of the high-level decisions made last sprint and to create the first stage of the Hawsepiper design. For most of the mechanical team, this meant basic CAD of the different parts of the boat. For the software team, this meant refining the path planner, writing a heading controller, and documenting stuff.

Making Design Decisions and Giving a Boat a Brain

February 28, 2018
Phase 3: Theoretical Work Sprint 5, January 24 — February 7 The overall goal of this sprint was to finish making all high-level design decisions about the H-boat, Hawsepiper, and begin creating CAD of the different parts of Hawsepiper. Software began making Git Boat autonomous. High-level Hawsepiper design was finished, and we worked out how the different parts on Hawsepiper are going to come together. We found a way to mount our sail onto our boat such that it could
