4/19-4/26

Last week during class I had a good conversation with Ron Swenson and his friends Joe and Paul about the future of Spartan Superway. It was a good conversation that helped me understand the future of the project.

Not much work has been done on the track itself at the moment. Jez has been printing some new brackets that are stronger and wider and a ramp to aid the bogie climbing onto a double track. Once those are completed, we will implement them onto the track and complete our reports and presentations.

3/22-4/18

3/22-4/5 This was crunch time to get everything done for Paseo Prototyping challenge. With the help of the team, we assembled the track and I made last minute tweaks and welds to make sure components were going to hold together.

4/6-4/12 On the 8th, Saturday we presented at Paseo Prototyping challenge and everything worked and was presentable. I coordinated and organized everyone's volunteer times as well as set-up and break down.  On the 12th, we gave our presentation and discussed some minor improvements that should be made.

4/13-4/18 As much of the project is already completed, not much has been done since then. I have drawn up a couple sketches for Jez to 3D print. Most of the printing has been completed. At this time, I do not think we have started to print small ramps we would like to add the the U-brackets.
