GenCom

Hey Brian, I was thinking about creating a portfolio of Bot A in preparation for the open house. I thought perhaps we could utilize the portfolio in a way to showcase the upcoming year. I was planning on including preliminary sketches including Top down views, a profile view, an oblique view and up close sketches on intricate parts. In addition, I intend to create a few cad models to show a progression of ideas from sketches to working drawings to cad modeling. Perhaps it would also be a good idea to include a summary page prior to the drawings to outline purpose and how our bot designs fulfill their roles. What do you think?
