During this week acquiring access to the shops was of most importance to begin the manufacturing of the parts. The forms required to have access to the shop in campus and tequShop were submitted. Also, before ordering the last remaining parts, I began checking the design of the steering system in order to make sure that the components will work well and any interference with the rails will be avoided. It was a difficult task to mate the different components in solid works. In every attempt a error existed while mating the timing belt as well as the slot component of the steering system. Ultimately with the assistance of Michael, he was able to figure out the problem and find the solution to successfully acquire motion in Solidworks. With such advancement I will be able to asses the adjustments necessary to fix any problems.
