| Swarming on Backhoe and Ironworker build today. Ironworker: pivot plates, blade mount, cylinder mount, cut shaft, and done. Backhoe: bucket attach, boom and stick drilling, cutting of rest of materials, building pivot, cutting shaft, attaching cylinders, adding QA mount, making pins. On Bulldozer Geardown - need to drill out keyways. Need mills. Sweiger: belt. refining [[Design Sprint#Design_Process]] | | Swarming on Backhoe and Ironworker build today.

| [[Mike Hill Modular Wheel Units Order]] aborted after 30 of 200 parts due to plasma cutter issue - [[Cutmaster 52]] is burning a tip every 10 parts even though air dryer is in place. We need an air dryer as our plasma cutter exploded after water trap filled up and spilled inside machine. Rest of Mike Hill order - we will be cutting by hand and reducing 6-way to 4-way blade on the bulldozer unless I can pull some magic. [[Cloverdale Manufacturing 6 in 60 Metal Order]] expected today - will be finished Tuesday because it is taking them longer than expected to do 4-sided tubing. Got all flats and 16 10 foot tubes, 1/4", so far.

| '''Weekly Plan and Review. Promising to build 5 machines AND organize the First Focused Concept Design Sprint on [[CNC Construction Set]] - to nail out SEBD (comprehensive) and Interface Design and beging Specific Dev Pathway a la [[Concept Design Workflow]]. Last week: Achieved all design and part sourcing, missed Scoping out of CNC Torch Table simply because sourcing and design was all encompassing.''' Updated [[Sourcing]] to XXH Pipe. Got tubing from Metal By The Foot. Mike is having trouble with his [[Cutmaster 52]] overheats and burns a tip per part.

| Majorly successful design sprint - see [[Dashboard]]. Had 17 contributors, well on our way to 50 regular ones and peak 250 for One Day Design Sprints. Major contribution was [[Yann Log]] on [[Velocar]], [[Tim Log]] on [[HydraFabber]] laser diode, and [[Gene Log]] on hydraulic gear motor design. Other than this, all our interns began doing hydraulic diagrams according to [[Hydraulic Diagram Standards]]. Updated [[OSE Workflow Infographic]]. Added [[Glimpses Prezi]] to Glimpses page. Audrey added a quick reference sheet on [[Technical Team Contributors]]
