Week 2: Lightning Talk

We set up an appointment with Dr. Viswanathan to discuss the analysis of our linkage design. We also gave a lightning talk to the Spartan Superway sub-teams about our progress. A link to the presentation is shown below.

Week 9: Arduino code

This week, Joshua worked on the Arduino code while Salvador acquired more materials for the suspension. Colin continues to work on the test frame and how to us the track linear actuator to achieve rotational motion of -17 to +17 degrees. Spring Break is next week but we all plan to put in a little bit of work.

Week 15: Building the test frame and completing the suspension

Image
This week, the test frame design was finalized and we are building it. In addition, we are finishing the welds on the suspension, making sure all parts fit well. At this point, the suspension is almost completely finished. Also, we ran some preliminary tests on the test frame which confirmed that our actuator works perfectly with the frame. Once the test frame is done, we will run more complete tests with the suspension. Our work is on schedule to be completed by Tuesday, May 8.

Week 11: Finalizing our design

We decided to use the dampening system as an actual link to shorten the vertical length of the suspension. A CAD model is currently being worked on and will hopefully be finished by next week. We also plan on continuing our FEA analysis with ANSYS within the next couple of weeks.
