WEEK 10/5 - 10/12

Last week during class we weren't able to have a lot of things done because of presentations. However, we were still able to talk to the Vehicle Position Sensing Team on exactly what they wanted to place on the bogie and what they wanted us to change. They will be testing the new hall sensor that they want to use and depending on the results we would have to adjust the placement of the other sensors. They also suggested that we cut a small part of the current hall sensor mounted on the bogie so that the new sensors don't interfere with the new ones. We also started doing some research on the sensors to better understand the placement of the sensors.

Edit (Ernest): In addition we want to have a meeting with the Track Improvement Team, Positioning Team, and Controls Team because it seems that the two sensor that positioning and controls team are using may interfere with each other due to placement. This is very crucial to the whole design of the bogie as well as the track and we need to accurately get this thing in order.
