03/22 - 04/05

These past two weeks I've been meeting with Craig discussing the redesign for the brakes. We went over design ideas and considering the materials needed. I've ordered the springs, motor, and the wire we plan on using for the brake design. Whether we plan on using the spring and wire definitively will be determined in the coming weeks as we run tests on the bogie. The calculations determined to work, but the materials are cheap enough that we might consider more flexible cable wire or stronger spring.

 Unfortunately, my techshop class was cancelled this previous week and has been rescheduled for this weekend. I'm hoping to take the class and help Craig in milling parts for the brake design.
