Week #7

During this week, we had to meet up at room 189 for half of our lab meeting. In room 189, we attended an informational presentation about how we should write our report papers. After the meeting, the team gathered at the design center and met up with Ron about new information from South Africa. Ron gave us a lot of useful information and opened our minds to the possible ideas with how we should go about constructing the full scale track. Also, we were given properties, via a magazine, of the steel that we're going to use. This information helps us calculate weight stresses and thermal expansions. We're still waiting for access to the ME labs to start laser-cutting our newly found prototype idea. Also, the new guidelines for the 2nd presentation are finally posted, so we're beginning to develop our 2nd presentation.
