Week 2

During this week, our main objective was to acquired as much data as possible and identify the issues with their respective solution. We begin by reading the previous summer team report to identify more accurately on what the main problems were present. During our research, we identify that the bogie did not fully functioned during previous test. We identify that the main problem was the constriction of the bogie. It is constrained in such matter that it does not fully travel across the track successfully. In our preliminary attempt to begin working in the project at hand, we begin by brainstorming and ultimately sketching as many ideas as possible which will be helpful in the design of our system. We also deduced that in order for our project to be successful, our sub-team requires to be in full contact with the rest of the sub-teams thus a fully Google Docs folder was created which will contain all the documents related to our project. Although all sub-teams may be working on different parts, our contribution will come together in the end, therefore full communication is of upmost importance. We began by introducing one another and exchanging information to fully create an environment of great communication and team work. Our project team is fully communicating in the lab as well as outside of school grounds. Our main objective for this upcoming week will be to further discuss our next course of action, fully understand the changes and design choices, keep communicating with our fellow team mates and ultimately begin the design analysis.
