Risk Management

Risk: Bugs with inter-process communication, node crashes 

  • Mitigation: Write more unit tests and integration tests. Dedicate at least one week pre-demo for testing and integration.

Risk: Motors for planting mechanism do not work as expected: provide inadequate torque for our load

  • Mitigation A: Assemble full motor assembly early next week to provide time to order new motors if needed

Risk:  Auger does not have enough support

  • Mitigation: Machine a temporary metal support to mitigate bending stresses
