4/19/2017 Blog #24

Hi,
this week we finished our presentation and reassembled the track on Wednesday. We did it fairly quickly. The reassembling process takes about an hour and a half. We discussed some future changes we wanted to make to the brackets and track. Also, we will be documenting our receipts to give to the A.S. to get refunded for.

We did not do much since the track is finished and meets the requirements of the other teams. For this coming week, we will be slotting holes in the vertical posts and figuring out a way to create a ramp for the bogie to enter the track more smoothly. We've come up with one design so far but it would require a different set of bolts which is not preferred. As you can see below, it acts as a shoe that we could slip on, but the issue is once again, the different set of bolts (longer) which makes it annoying. We also might need more PLA since we will be printing out several more of the wider brackets to replace the U-brackets at locations that create more strain.
