Week of 04-03-2019 to 04-10-2019

This week the team prepared for and delivered our second presentation. I was able to get full access to the mill and lathe in the maker space. Additionally, I was able to get access to E123 shop. This will greatly accelerate the production of my design as I am manufacturing myself. I did not make any progress this week in production since I did not have full access to the lathe in the mill until Wednesday April 10. I was able to purchase the hardware needed for my design. Next week I hope to make good progress in production.

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.
