4/5/17

Because I went out of town for Spring Break, I didn't accomplish too much in terms of project progress. Before break, I worked on the wooden model with Kevin, then painted the black box section. (this process is more detailed in last week's blog post). We need to make a few modifications to the design including cutting out a slot for the interlocking column to fit through. Claude's father has already fabricated this so Claude will give it to me in a couple days. Then we need to design some kind of clamps to showcase styles of attachment for such a shape as the cat's eye. Because the main part of the design is created without interlocking column, we will be able to weld and bolt to the design as much as we want.


This week, we worked on our Presentation 2 which will be presented on Wednesday, April 5. It will be graded on the following sections:
Project Summary/Context, Current Status of Design, Detailed schedule for the semester, Budget, and Engineering/Professional Improvements. The parts I'm working on are Project Summary/Context and Detailed schedule. For the Summary, it's essentially another recap of Spartan Superway's outline and goals that we reiterate during every presentation, as well as our subteam's importance to its goals. Our schedule will outline everything we need to do in the next two months to finish successfully, well before Maker Faire.
