Week 6 Rapid Prototyping

Since the half of the sub-teams have presented their ideas last week, the other half of the sub-teams are presenting this week. My team have finished the presentation last week, so we sat in and listen for their presentation today. 1/12 scale control team presented their ideas today and their wireless control system have inspired me. They used RFID tags on the track and encoder on the motor to keep track on the location of the bogie. I think we can use similar devices such as hall effect sensors to keep track of our podcar. The parts are coming in today, and my team is meeting up tomorrow to work on prototyping. We are up to date on our gantt chart, which is good.
