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.
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.
This week, we are preparing for Presentation 2. We are also beginning to drill the holes into the steel bars. Bearings also arrived so we are making sure they fit snugly in the bars. Salvador has been working on the parts in his garage shop, but his tools are somewhat limited. We are planning to go to the on-campus machine shop to finish the parts.

This week, we brought our parts to the machine shop on campus. Salvador continued his work on drilling holes. Joshua was responsible for finishing the parts by sanding and filing. Colin cut the pieces to size. We are on schedule to finish our project!
