Week 10: 10/24 - 10/31

This Week:

-> The Motor Housing is being designed. A big concern is making sure the wheel will fit the track, but guideway states the 3.5 inch thickness is fine.

-> Research is being done on options for tires, we want a tire that's at least 1 inch tall, to give us a full 10 inch wheel.

-> We are working on sourcing a controller for the motors. An issue for us right now is finding a motor that has the right pin input for the 9-pin round output the motor comes with.

-> Finalizing our order for the motors, go to Professor Furman to make sure we're making the right decision and that he knows what we're doing.


Next Week:

-> Do FEA on motor housing

-> Do any final modifications/FEA on shaft

-> Finalize CAD on both shaft and housing

-> Find a controller, make sure controls team and Professor Furman OK it.

-> Order controllers + motors

  1. Wayside power is planning on using the space between the wheel and the bogie (on the track itself). We should compare CAD designs to make sure there is no overlap.
