Week of 03-13-2019 to 03-20-2019

This week I started to make some engineering drawings for the braking system. I will be using the  drawings to machine the design using a lath and mill. The design will most likely be be fabricated in Makerspace located on campus. I will be getting help from some individuals to machine the design, as it has been a while since I last used machining tools.  Furthermore, I also worked on the essay that was due this week.

Final Week

This week we delivered our final presentation on the Spartan Superway project. The end result was amazing and E-Brake worked better than I had expected. The alumni event was a great experience as I demonstrated my project to many people. Overall the Spartan Superway project has been a great experience and I have learned so much. I hope the coming years' team will continue to work hard to hopefully bring this project into reality. Jaspreet Singh

This week I was able to completely finish my system. I was able to mount it on a platform and start to test it. I am very happy to say that I am finished testing my design and it performs exactly as I had expected to. I probably will not be able to test it on the track since it is not ready, but I am confident that it will perform to its specifications. Additionally, I made a slider mechanism which allows adjustment of the braking system. As of now, the braking system is ready to mount on the slave bogie.
