Week 44

On Tuesday the 27th of October we had a group meeting. The aim of the meeting was to gather our insights on the project, prepare for the pitch, set up programming partners for  the following week and to set our goals for the next few weeks. The goal was met and we agreed to meet next time on Friday the 30th of October.

On Friday we had the pitching session. We had prepared a kick-ass presentation that would have blown everyone's minds, but sadly we weren't one of the three groups chosen to present their pitches. The pitches were good and the evaluations after the pitches were even better, especially the ones given by the audience. Although we didn't get to pitch our product, we learned a lot from the session. Our subject isn't actually very 'pitchable' or marketable, as it is mostly useful for research purposes, but we learned a lot about presentations in general nonetheless. The awesome pitch slides we made can be found below.

After the session we had a meeting with our contact person, where we learned new stuff about the code and experimented around a bit with the cylinders. We are by now pretty familiar with the code and it is easy to try new stuff. However we have not yet achieved a working model with two small cylinders connected by a spherical joint as the helix. However new ideas for the approach were formed.
