Week of 03-27-2019 to 04-03-2019

This week during spring break, I went to the makerspace area to start fabrication on my design. I had a slow start but I feel confident that I will be able to make my parts. I started to machine the bottom slider and top piece of my design using as lath and mill. I look forward to going to maker-space this whole week but I have limited access because there always need to be someone supervising.

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.
