Week 3: Concept Designing

This week, we prepared the Lightning Talk Presentation for the Spartan Superway team to give feedback on our project description, specifications, and most importantly our end goals. After looking into the previous Half-Scale suspension team final report on what where their specifications and end goals we decided to stick for on meeting one in particular specification that they did not achieve all the way. The main specification is to have the pod car remain level with respect to gravity while transversing on inclines and declines of 17 degrees.

After our Lighting Presentations my team and I got the chance to meet with the half-scale team from the summer. They explained to use that they worked on getting the bogies to work together and gave suggestions on what they believe would be the best option. For example they said to look into bell cranks for a combination of active and passive suspension system. Our team will come up with some design iterations for next week and get some input from Dr. Furman and Eric Hagstrom.
