# General

The Newbie introduction familiarized us with concepts unknown to at least some of our team members.
These include: 
- The steps of Systems Engineering, especially Synektik. How to develope requirements and h 
- 3D Printing and what to look out for (bed leveling, quality of the print)
- Cable managment
- Project management involves forecasting and scheduling the activities done by everyone in the team
- We have also gathered some experience with assembling and electrical components of the ExoMy.



# Lessons learned: Problem / Solution

The following is a list of specific problems we have encountered during the ExoMy Phase and their solution.

## Dimensioning
### Problem
Demension of the payload seems arbitrary, i.e. why is this part so long?

### Solution
Consult norms and do calculations. (specifically on the auger, i.e. on mass flow, diameter). However, some variables have to be tested and empirically verified(for example the shape and distribution of shapes on the wedge )

## Design
### Problem
Some designs were lazily come up with, without giving it proper thought; the connection of the head for example.

### Solution
When designing the structure of the payload, the functionality of each sub-element needs to considered more deeply. How does each element interact with each other? What funtions can be intgrated

## Scheduling 
### Problem
Confusion about when the next meeting is going to take place.

### Solution
Use a functioning google calendar for the entire group 

## Assembly
### Problem
During the assembly of the ExoMy some parts broke, because of their poor print quality. This caused us to lose some time because we had to wait for the reprint of one part. 

### Solution 
Before starting the Assembly do a check, whether or not all parts fulfill sufficient quality requirements to be installed.
