Spring 2018 Week 10: Making a Switch

April 4, 2018

This week, the team moved forward with manufacturing. Bryan was kept sidelined in Los Angeles and had to work remotely due to personal issues. While in Los Angeles, Bryan worked to complete the second presentation of the track team which we needed to present next week. Meanwhile, in the SSDC, Kevin and Angelo were hard at work to manufacture the track. Kevin was intent to keep progress moving forward by manufacturing the track's switch sub-assembly. There was good progress with the switch and an image of it can be found below:


As shown, the 3D printed switch attachments were added into the assembly, however, more manufacturing challenges would be present itself due to the last bend being made and cut in its proper position.

Angelo worked to manufacture the straight components. By assembling several straights, one curve, and partly one switch, the track team is making good progress and is looking to finish the project before Maker Faire.
