4/26-5/3

Final adjustments are done to the bogie and steering as the finals days approach. A tensioning system is placed placed in the steering. In order to tension the steering a simple solution was implemented. Torsional springs were bought and used to easily tension the timing belts. Although the springs did tension somewhat the steering system, there doesn't seem to be any reliability. We tested the steering and came to the conclusion to change the tension system as the one in place is not of our liking. Also, we grind down some of the shafts from the gear box in order to for the fittings, motor shaft and gearbox shaft will assemble perfectly. We also begin to get ready for the last presentation taking place soon.
