Week 2 1/31 light presentation

Today we had a lighting presentation about what we have done over the winter break. We gave a brief overview of the tasks that we have accomplished and what are going to do next. We are planning to replace parts from the rapid prototype with a bigger motor and a corresponding motor driver. It will have enough torque and power to drive the bogie back and forth.

Week 1 Spring 2018 semester begins!!

Spring 2018 semester officially began today! This is my last semester at San Jose State University and I am excited about this upcoming semester and graduation. In this semester, we are entering the manufacturing phase which means we need to purchase parts and put every piece together for Maker Faire. We need to purchase a motor and a motor controller to give the correct voltage output for the control system. It will transform our rapid prototype to the actual operational prototype. We have already picked on a brushless motor and a motor controller online. After the budget gets approved, we can order the parts and start doing testing when they arrive.
