Week 9

This past weekend we were able to successfully have the bogie working for Paseo Prototype. After having it run for multiple times at the event we saw that sometimes the bogie would fall because it would collide with other bogies or because some one would stop it and when it hits the ground all of the bogie parts survive the fall but the smaller part of the cabin would get cracks at the top and bottom. Therefore, the design of the cabin will be edit by making the cabins with thicker walls for the hinge and the part of the cabin that attaches to the bogie to have more support. Also sometimes the link of the switching mechanism will fall off and new longer links will be made. We will also purchase head set inserts will be purchase for better tapping of holes for screw attachments. The Paseo event was this past Saturday and most of the week was spent on getting ready for the event but the rest of the time was spend on getting ready for Presentation #2 of this semester.
