Click to go to Sliding Doors.
There are many aspects that need to be considered when developing the mechanical system.
Planning
| Completion | Due Date *a little flexible | Stage |
|---|---|---|
| 30-Sept | Research existing mechanisms - Doors, Sliders, Sensors, Barcode Scanners etc. | |
| 28-Sept | Create List of Requirements this component should fulfill | |
| 1-Oct | Make a design selection for components | |
| 6-Oct | Detailed Sketch(es) of Component | |
| 6-Oct | Describe how it works/each sub-components use | |
| 9-Oct | Build mini model? |

Require external power sources, otherwise batteries that need replacement often
Wiki-BarCode Scanners
- What type of scanners are there?
- How they scan
- How fast they scan
- Cost?
- How does the drone drop package the exact same way each time?
- Where to place scanning mechanism?
- How much time is required for scanning?
- What type of scanners are there?
Opening Mechanism
- How will drone open the door?
- How will the door stay open?
- How will the door keep rain out/from settling on top?
- How does the door mechanism work?
- 1 vs 2 doors, pop up or slide aside,
- Will it hit the drone?
- What kind of mechanical sliding doors are there
- Can it hold the weight of a drone?
- Where does the power come from to run the system?
Fixing/Maintenance
- How robust is the system?
- How does it send an error signal?
- How can a person fix the mechanisms?
