The braking system is undergoing some minor changes in the design to ease in manufacturability. The Braking system will be made from aluminum instead of steel in the original design. Since the bogie will be traveling only 2mph at maker faire, a smaller force will be needed to stop it. The new stopping distance is 2 feet. Currently, the 130 lb magnet has been purchased from Amazon. All other components except the spring will be machined by myself.
