Week 12

Week 12 Update

For this week, we wanted to focus on manufacturing. Although the track has been moved and we can start building, we still needed to ensure that we would be able to have our third rail manufactured. One of our goals for the school year was to get the third rail design finished and manufactured and as of today it looks as if this is going to be feasible. 

We received an email that ensured that we would have the third rail 3-4 day from Monday 4/22. David reached out to several manufacturers in order to get quotes and we were lucky enough that Master Metal was willing to do the job and donate it. 

For Thursday 4/25, we expect to go out to a Home Depot to pick up wood that we still deem necessary as well as bolts and screws. We have decided to order the necessary bolts and screws online in order to save money. As of now, it does not seem likely that we will be able to build it completely, but we wanted to at least get our materials and track started.
