After our last presentation, we were faced with some technicalities in the scaled down design, drawn up by Jake. In question were the thicknesses of the metal plates required for the model proposed for the build. At this time we are trying to figure out what parts need to be changed, or whether the initial design should be changed totally. Another factor playing into this design is that the team met with Mr. Bengt, the engineer who patented the bogie design, this last week. He kindly supplied us with his solidworks models for a guideway his team had designed. The model he supplied to us is a full scale model that has many similarities to our design, so the plan going forward is to translate his design into ours and see what changes are best suited for the torsion test.
