Blog #4 9/21-9/27

Hi,
This week our team once again met up with the other groups at the beginning of class to ensure we are all on the right path without hindering other groups’ progress. We mentioned how our plan was to completely redesign the track, but the other teams may continue to use the current loops to test their products since the redesign dimensions will not be too different. Afterward, we documented the dimensions and then proceeded to talk about the following week’s plans. Firstly, the presentation was of utmost importance since it was the soonest. We drafted a brief presentation and agreed to meet up again on Saturday to further improve it, which we did. And after the presentation, we plan on starting to stay at campus to start designing on the Solidworks programs on the second or third floor of Engineering building. We have already mentioned this to the other groups that we will be returning to campus after meeting up with everybody for our weekly meetings. However, they will still be able to reach us via Slack (a group chat application) fairly easily and we will be a text message away. Our team has also drafted a few basic designs for what we plan on doing with the mounts and loops for the track. We will be more thorough with the coming weeks, but the pictures are displayed below and the files will be made available to other groups in the 12th scale. Overall, the communication has been pretty good and the 12th scale seem to have a pretty strong foundation.
