Week 14

Week 14 Update

This week we focused on gathering the materials to build the track. We knew that we would have to do some welding, drilling and cutting. We also gathered up all of the wood that was going to be needed. The third rail as well as the metal components were donated by Master Metal Products. With the help of Patrick we were able to transport these materials over to the courthouse. We are very grateful for Patrick's help and also for lending us his SUV. Below are images we were able to get from the move as well as the manual labor we have been able to do.

Week 13

Week 13 Update

For this week, we focused on gathering up all of the materials that will be needed in order to start the building of our track. On Wednesday, we took a road trip to pick up our pieces from Master Metal. The bent third rail was not yet ready as they were a bit backed up with work. However, we were able to obtain the straight portion of the third rail as well as the support beams. The screws and bolts were ordered and delivered as well. On Thursday, we started to build what we could and we began planning when to buy the wood. Since David can only use one arm, Evelia is the only one who can start the building. However, other teams have volunteered to help us out as much as possible in order to be able to use the guideway. Below are what were able to pick up from Master Metal on Wednesday.
