Full Scale Steering and Emergency Braking Team

This was the final week of the Spartan Superway project. The team has learned so much over the past several months and the experience is invaluable. The final presentation went smooth and better than we had expected. Overall all of the team's goals were met and we are extremely proud of that. I hope that next years team will continue working hard on the Spartan Superway so we can one day make it a reality.

Guide Arm                                                                                                               Akash Sandhu The goal of this week was to have all manufacturing completed for all three of the guide arms and to test fit the guide arms onto the bogies. All of the guide arms assemblies are completed. I attempted to test fit the slave bogie guide arm and was faced with some small aligning problems. However, I have solve the problem and have successfully attached one of the guide arms to the slave bogie.  The other slave bogie is also ready to be attached to the slave bogie. The drive bogie guide arm is complete, but the interaction team did not have ready as of early Friday morning for me to attach my arm. There should be no problems with the drive bogie as long as the physical bogie matches the CAD model. I have also weighed the arms, they are well below the 15 kg limit.
