Log
3D printer Tripod solution didn't work, Onkar is reprinting
Onkar and Connor worked to install more ceiling tiles in control room
See image below for vague weirdly drawn understanding
Panels installed for 5, 6, 7, & 10
May need more panelling for remaining sections
Roy says: focus on areas where people are walking
Panels are 101 x 122 cm^2
Shrey and Roy wiped down mirror doors and DFM scope structure, see before/after images below
Roy began to remove the rope lighting, but we couldn't move the DFM scope bc the mirror door motors were loose on top of mirror doors
We did not get to GAM motor and encoder testing
Connor and Gabriel organized HW and tools in black cabinet in in-between
We did not do any more inventorying
Onkar and Tara worked to swap monitors and connected them to DC tower for upstream data connections
Notes
ToDo
Continue removing rope lights
Inventory needs to be done!
The rest of the ceiling panels need to be installed
