Week 11

Week 11 Update

For this week we were able to finish up the moving of the track. Thanks to the help of everyone this past Wednesday, we were able to make the move. Below are some images that were taken during the move. 


Since presentations will be taking place this coming week, we will be planning how we are going to build the track. As it has been mentioned, David is incapable of helping out with too much manual labor due to his broken collar bone. However, we are hoping to receive some help from some of the teams that are not doing much. Furthermore, we have gotten in contact with a manufacturer and are hoping to hear some quotes very soon. We designed an extra third rail that take the form of a tube rather than a diamond shape. This could help ease our manufacturing issues if they do arise. Below is the new third rail design. 
Furthermore, David has decided to take over the manufacturing portion of this assignment. He has gotten in touch with a couple of companies in order to ask for quotes and manufacturing abilities. We hope to have a manufacturer bend this within the next two weeks in order to meet our goals for the semester. We just got work that we will not be attending Maker Faire. However, we will continue on with our work as needed.
