During this week, a new reliable design for tensioning the belt is planned. Several designs were thought of but there is little time thus a simple yet reliable solutions was necessary to be done. Thus, the construction of a reliable tensioning system will be the last part of our completed bogie. The wheels which required to be reduced a little were modifies and a bigger clearance was obtained. The bogie has been available for the other sub-teams to implement their parts and test for some time. A dynamic test run on the track was done and the results were remarkably positive as the bogie is able to transverse the 17 degree angle as expected. It is very joyful that the system  works accordingly to our designs specifications. A more reliable tensioning system will be finish before Maker Fair. Also, we are getting ready for final presentations this upcoming Friday May 12.
