Meeting 15 – April 1, 2019

4/1/19 – Hitchcock 308 – 1 hour

Attendance:

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

Objective: Complete aR&D 3

Completed tasks:

  • The code for aR&D 2 was rerun with the new design (part of aR&D 3) – whole group
  • Power usage was analyzed for the new design using a vertical base – whole group
  • The current performance test code was ran with the new parts so that the group can see whether it still works – whole group

Tasks to be Completed:

  • Progress Report 3 – whole group
  • Do power usage analysis of AEV with horizontal base – whole group

Decisions/Notable Events:

  • The new 3D parts have been sanded down to usable dimensions and can be ran on the track
  • The current progress report code still mostly works but has minimal discrepancies such as the AEV not fully making it to the caboose, the group will trouble shoot as necessary.
