Full Scale Steering and Emergency Braking Team

This week we the team added more files to get manufactured at the central shop. we spoke with Kyle from the central shop to make sure that our parts were able manufactured with the equipment available at the central shop. he confirmed that they were. Currently we are waiting for our parts to be manufactured so we can start welding.

The presentations for the whole Spartan Superway teams continued for two weeks. The updates include a current budget of about $500. Also, the team has ordered all of his material. This includes metal stock and parts from McMaster-Carr. The Water jet order has been send to Central Shop and emailed Kyle at Central Shop. The upcoming goal is the is to start working on parts that are not send to the Central Shop. Most of the manufacturing that will be done ourselves will be with the help of MakerSpace and Tech shop. The link to the presentation is provided below. Presentation 1

This week the team has purchased most of the parts needed for our designs. An order was placed and received from Mcmaster Carr which included most of the items needed for our designs. A 4' x 4' steel sheet was purchased form Sim's metal to water jet cut parts for the guide arm and articulation system. We are working on engineering drawings and drawing for the water jet machine.  We would like to send our design to be cut as soon as possible to avoid any delays. Furthermore, the braking system has been fully redesigned and completed. The braking system will be machined using the machining tools at makerspace. For the articulation system most of the parts needed to be optimized to fit standard size parts. The following picture shows a pin that was increased in size to fit a standard size ring. Because of this most parts needed to be changed too. Including the housings the articulation system. Final drawings of all parts are finished and are being sent to the central...
