WEEK 3 : FEB 16th -- Feb 22nd

This is what we accomplished this week:

• We ordered the right shoulder tap screws and more 4-40 screws 
• We learned we have to change the dimension of one of our parts to make it easier to tap wholes 
• Moralma took her Tech Training on Thursday and now the whole team will have access to 3D printing 
• We are working on making a new cabin we are focusing on changing 3 main things 
• The new cabin will have a larger space inside to accommodate the battery pack which has a size of  1.16 x1.16x 2'' and the mega arduino 
• We are leaving the holes on the front of the cabin because the control team needs them 
• The sides of the cabin will be flatter to make it easier for the controls team to attach their sensors
• We are also trying to figure out a way to assemble the whole cabin without the use of glue as because we don't wan to use glue as the past teams did 

We will have flatter surfaces to accommodate the needs of the controls  team 

We are making the inside of the cabin bigger and leaving the front holes 

We are  trying to think of a new way of how the cabin will be hold together without the use of glue 

Week 2 --- Feb 8th -- 15th

This week we were able to: 

- To do inventory of parts such as gears, wheels, nuts and shoulder screws. 

- Ernest was able to order the needed gears, and they will arrive soon 

- We email Prof. Youseffi to print more bogie parts with him. 

- We are waiting for other teams to finalize their hole placements for sensors to finalize our bogie design. 

- We will be soon be ready to produce the 6 bogies

Week 2/1 --- 2/7 Update

This week we were able to do accomplish the following:

• Moralma requested approval to Sign up for a membership at for Tech shop to have access to the 3D printer at the shop
• Make the switching mechanism bigger
• Start Unifying some parts of the bogie to reduce the amount of screws use
• Prepare to order more brackets, gears, wheels, rods and motor mounts
