Sprint Goal:
Finalize current system for MVP, and create the final iteration
Finalize current system for MVP, and create the final iteration
Overview:
This sprint was about turning our research and experimentation into the final product, capable of simple knitting. In short, after lots of small, rapid iterations of each piece (to refine it from the nearly functional system last sprint), we have a polished automatic knitting machine. We got the mechanical system working with stitches forming with from the motion of the automated carriage with out human intervention. However the code and sensor attachment still needs work.

Pre-Sprint Events:
Several members of the team will be at the school during all or part of Thanksgiving Break. It is an opportune time to work on the project.

Still no complete MVP!

Decision:
We decided to focus on completing and refining the small needle bed, and then expanding it until it was large enough to knit a human-wearable scarf, instead of trying to implement any new features. Additionally we would like our final iteration to be completely disassemble-able . No hot glue or jankiness.
