During this week, we continue our progress in our Bogie, Failsafe and Steering. All subsystems are coming together little by little. In the current CAD design, the propulsion, breaking and suspension sub-systems have been implemented. The design has not been finalize but it will be a preview to visualize the final design. There has been minor changes in our design as we have noticed some issues. For example, the angles of our steering changed slightly thus one of the pulleys changed from 24 teeth to 28 teeth. The linkage controlling the upper steering instilled us to make the change. Also, some gaps in the bogie were changed in order to mount the gear housing system. Also, we began to write the rough draft for our final report. Adding all details of our design and explaining why the changes took place will be of upmost importance to ensure that future teams are able to improve and progress.  Also, we will be finalizing the B.O.M. for our parts. We have yet to turn in the B.O.M as we want to completely finalize our design and obtain a accurate total cost to ensure fundings are delivered as necessary.
