Meeting 16 – April 3, 2019

4/3/19 – Hitchcock 308 – 1 hour

Attendance:

  • James Bott
  • Joe Georges
  • Michael Nedved
  • Nick McLaughlin

Objective: Complete aR&D 3

Completed tasks:

  • Assembled AEV with horizontal base – Joe
  • Power usage analysis of horizontal base AEV – whole group

Tasks to be Completed:

  • Progress Report 3 – whole group
  • Make new solid works assembly to reflect current design – TBD
  • Draft project poster – whole group

Decisions/Notable Events:

  • The group unanimously decided to use the horizontal base design, although the power usage is slightly higher it is a lot more convenient and allows for a more flexible design.
  • The group observed that the new wheel clips into the track support arms which causes the AEV to bounce mid run, Michael will take the drive wheel home and trim down the diameter of the wheel so that it will fit on the track and will be tested at next meeting.
