• SailBot Summer 2027
  • Date/location not set
  • Should definitely be realisitic as long as we keep momentum
• Fall Semester Goals
  • Mechanical: all critical parts of the boat manufactured (keel, wingsail), RC water test to confirm mechanical functionality
  • Electrical: PCB soldered/tested, wire harnesses made
  • Software: Gazebo simulation for some Sailbot tasks, firmware tested on PCB, can interface with all sensors and actuators, basic control algorithms
• Spring Semester Goals
  • Mechanical: HALT cycle testing for all moving parts, additional payload support (ex. wind vane, light tower, wingsail stuff, cameras
  • Electrical: add Raspberry Pi/Jetson for autonomy
  • Software: Gazebo simulation for all Sailbot tasks, full stack autonomy/controls integrated
• Timeline
• Tests
  • Mechanical water test - October
  • RC test - November
  • Integration (dry or wet, pcb, sensors, basic controls) - November
