Remote-Controlled Garden Seeder Team 31- Beyza Kural, Syed Hussain, Nawaf Abulhaija Progress Update 11/11-11/25      During the work period of November 11 - November 25, our team has been working on finalizing the design in SolidWorks so that we can have our CAD completed for our Design Review Report on December 2. Our milestones 1-3 are completed and we are now on milestone 4 in which we have the major components of our design finalized. Currently, our team is focused on the smaller details of the CAD such as fine dimensioning and the electrical layout. The electrical components include the power supply, wiring, motors, etc. The figure below shows the progress of our CAD design.  Figure 1. Updated CAD of Garden-Seeder       Based on our initial design concepts, we decided that our "Design Concept 1" would be most effective in meeting our client's needs. After conducting a design feasibility analysis, we were able to rank Design Concept 1 as the highest, in terms of oper

  Remote-Controlled Garden Seeder Team 31- Beyza Kural, Syed Hussain, Nawaf Abulhaija   Progress Update 10/28-11/11: During the work period of October 28-November 11, our team has been working on completing the analysis phase of our device as well as finishing up designing the parts in SolidWorks so that we can complete the full assembly before November 15, 2023. Our milestones 1-3 are completed and we have conceptualized our design with all the parts selected. We completed some preliminary sketches for the design and settled on a design that utilizes a top loaded motorized hopper with an aerator in front. The preliminary sketch of the device can be seen below. The device will include wheel covers as well as a rubber back to smooth out the surface as seeds are distributed. The hopper will be pyramid shaped to create a funnel in which all the seeds can be placed without any issues getting stuck. The hopper will include a small motor which will control the flow rate of the seed
