In this Week 10 review, we assess the current status of the Duke's of Hazard project. Key action items include finalizing part orders, ongoing machining of the platform base, and interfacing with peripheral equipment. Despite minor delays due to parts redesign, progress remains steady with no serious issues. The anticipated GPS from Mr. Brownell will enhance our functionality. Upcoming tasks involve completing machining of enclosure walls, testing the GPS, and continuing development of the search algorithm for field work.
