Next week is going to be SPRING BREAK, so the team collectively worked hard to ensure we wouldn't fall back when we returned after the much-needed break. With Kevin's bender added to our toolset, Kevin decided to manufacture one of the four curved sections of the track. The tolerances with this build proved to be difficult because if the track's rails proved too wide, the bogey would fall off or if they were too snug the bogey would bind and stop moving. The team had to keep these issues in mind so that we don't have any problems during Maker Faire. With this in mind, Kevin finished manufacturing one of the four curved sections and we're collectively waiting for the bogey team to test the assembly to validate our manufacturing techniques. The following image displays Kevin's manufactured curve sections.
While Kevin worked on the curved sections, Angelo and Bryan manufactured two sets of straights to mount and test the bracket's connections. The following image displays our team's current progress:
