Design reviews are essential milestones in robotics projects, ensuring critical components are completed within set phases. They involve project sponsors and give students a platform to showcase their work while verifying compliance with industry standards. Conducting preliminary and critical design reviews facilitates understanding of the project, allows for feedback before building begins, and ensures any final issues are addressed. These reviews are required for robust project management and help ensure the successful transition between project phases by involving all stakeholders.

Design Reviews Brad MillerAssociate Director, WPI Robotics Resource Center
Why Do Design Reviews • Gives the team intermediate milestones during the 6 weeks • Requires that critical parts of the project are completed • Helps involve the sponsor • Gives the students an opportunity to show off their work • Verify the design
Standard in Industry • Design reviews are required in any large project • Projects divided into phases • Exiting one phase and going to another requires a review from all the stakeholders
What Happens at Reviews • Preliminary Design Review • After the initial design and prototyping • Demonstrate your understanding of the game • Verify the design, show the prototypes • Get suggestions/concerns now before starting build • Critical Design Review • Robot mostly complete and running • Demonstrate the finished work to the sponsor • Resolve any last-minute issues
