Week 2

In this week, we bonded as a group and begin research for our respective team objective. For instance I obtained all the information regarding each team member in the half scale bogie team. The communication will be of great importance thus I will be sharing all the design choices and progress with each member in a google doc created. All information I may provide in this folder will help the other teams to design their parts accordingly. Concerning our sub-team, we began preparations and brainstorming to fully grasp the problems and possible solutions which may be implemented in the redesign of the bogie. Also, I began to sketch some ideas that we may implement to the design. The purpose is to brainstorm our own individual ideas of concerning solutions for the design. After, we will combine our ideas and decide which work better, are more practical, are more durable, and will attain the functionality desired of the mechanism. In, general, communicating with the team will definitely play a role in the success or failure of our new modifications thus we begin by building a friendly and great work environment within the group. Below, some examples of sketching done this week are presented.
