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 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! Joshua and Colin working on parts Salvador pricking the bar before drilling Next week, we will begin finishing the parts and Joshua will finish the Arduino code.
This week, we are working on the last few parts in preparation for putting everything together. Salvador has begun welding some pieces together. Joshua also got the test frame code done, which leaves Colin with the task of completing the actual test frame design for Maker Faire. As we enter the last couple weeks of school, everyone on the Spartan Superway team will need to use all their effort to show the Maker Faire that we are committed to creating a sustainable and reliable transportation network here in San Jose.
