• Michael Kemp
• Manufacturing
• CAD Design and Drawings
• FEA

• Jorge Soto
• Modeling and CAD design
• Assembly
• Manufacturing

• Martin Chavez
• Sketches
• CAD

• Proposal narrative (verbal description of what is proposed to be accomplished, which includes design requirements and deliverables)
• Over all Bogie Changes
• Utilize 4130 steel tubing and sheets rather than A513/A36 in order to reduce weight while maintaining rigidity.
• Simplify design from previous and shorten all possible members to reduce weight and reduce risk of long term beam buckling due to large slenderness ratio.
• Attempt to integrate all subsystems in a manner that minimizes the volume envelope of the bogie design and reduces risk of interference and catching of members  
• Steering
• Shorten wheel mounts
• Use 2 linear actuator in order to shorten the linkages
• Look into removing lowe second failsafe wheels

Failsafe

• One wheel on each side instead of two in order to not overconstrain the system
• during turns
• Between bogies
• Add 2 DOF flexibility between bogies utilizing a drivetrain linkage design

• Sketches or drawings

• Critical Path Schedule using   https://gantter.com/   (Gantt chart website) -copy shareale link / screenshot of gantt chart in team blog.
• Budget (preliminary estimate of the cash and VIK – Value-In-Kind – needed to deliver what is being proposed)   Give an ESTIMATED RANGE for this.

Cost of materials will increase if the material is switched from Structure steel to Chromoly steel. A range from $600 - 1000 for the structure is currently projected, however it is hard to currently determine as new component and configurations have not be determined.
