Discussion

1. Monitor
2. 2 Single Pivot Screen($25)
3. 1 Single Mount $50-60
4. Better than flat mount
5. Can wait to order this
6. Extra PCBs
7. Single side $3-5
8. Double side $5-15
9. Cheap due to RadioShack going out of business
10. Buy 10-12 soon
11. Limit Switches
12. Prefer contact switch
13. Currently have breadboard grid
14. Can put display on box of what switch went off
15. Switch out all limit switches due to poor quality
16. Wires can easily pull out
17. Homemade
18. Vacuum System
19. Found new 210 CFM $150 smaller vacuum
20. Vacuum pump attached to building not likely feasible
21. Liquid coolant
22. Possible, not exactly water
23. No damage to board
24. Extends drill bit life, calms airborne debris
25. Need to contain coolant splash
26. Not likely compatible to vacuum table
27. Shop vac likely dry only
28. High pressure air coolant?
29. Low specific heat compared to water
30. Hard to contain around electronics
31. Fine mist? Collects debris more than coolant
32. PCB sizes
33. No standard sizes
34. 18x24 most common
35. These are often cut into smaller boards
36. Feature in Eagle that gives std sizes based on project box sizes
37. Budget
38. Only $500
39. Currently coming up with budgeted needs
40. Likely have an A and B plan
41. Yev emailed CAST System Admin to get equipment permissions set up
42. Dr Slack
43. Has no interest and has never routed PCBs
44. Gave a list of students who may be interested
45. Told to check out Robotics Lab
46. Robotics Lab
47. Router non functional
48. What was on whiteboard last week is posted on edge
