Week 7 Update
For this week, Evelia focused her attention on finishing up the last details on the third rail. We needed to ensure that we also had a straight section of the third rail in order to support the bogie over the gap left by the splitting of the track. Below is the image of our latest third rail as well as how it looks mounted onto our track.
We have also decided to focus on finding a manufacturer ASAP in order to start building our track. After looking through what was left of the track, we found that we can make the supports for the third rail will not be adding those to our budget. We understand that all full-scale teams need this track in order to display their designs so we are hoping to start on building something as soon as possible.
We also figured out how to get the track into the new building without knocking down any walls. There are two double doors on the front side of the building which are wide enough for the track to fit through that is almost a straight shot to the room we may be building in. The plan is to move the track next Wednesday with the help of some of the other teams.
