5/3/2017 Blog #26

Hi,
this week we ordered another set of screws because we have plans to upgrade to the wider U-brackets which require more screws than the thinner one. We also came up with a quick fix to a problem we have been having with the guideway corners being slightly too high (the bogie is at risk of falling). We taped some scrap corners from previous years to it so that the bogie would connect with the corner sooner (therefore, effectively "lowering" it by decreasing the distance that the bogie drops to lean on it).
This week we will be drilling holes into some parts of the track so we can incorporate the wider U-brackets with the extra holes. We will also be slotting the vertical supports. And of course, we will finish up our presentation powerpoint by next Friday.
