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?

Research Questions

Scanning
- 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?
  - How they scan
  - How fast they scan
  - Cost?
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?
