Week 1-9 - Researching and Planning

In the past nine weeks, our team has made great strides to understanding the needs and dependencies of the Spartan Superway mobile application. Most of our work so far has been comprised of gathering valuable information from Ron and mechanical engineering students working on the 12th scale model. It is important that we have the right information as we go along planning the roadmap for this project because we will be choosing certain technologies that will be in place for future senior project teams that will succeed us. After plenty of talks with Ron, we wanted to create the foundations of the Spartan Superway app in such a way that it will be presentable by maker faire and be extensible for future teams who wish to take over the project. It will not feel like true progress is made if the next team decides to start from scratch. Supplementing our project will be detailed documentations on the mobile application that will help newcomers understand the project much better. In the next few weeks we will be working on further implementation of Android, iOS, and our backend.
