As mentioned last week, I had completed all of the manufacturing last week; however, there was a little bit of a mounting issue. Nevertheless, I was able to mount finish the mounting for all of the arms Tuesday. On Wednesday, professor Furman conducted a prototype evaluation. Furthermore, the team and I went to Alumni night, which helped be more prepared for questions I might be asked during my final presentation. It was also a great opportunity to showcase my design. I also focused on the final presentation on Friday (5/10).

Week of 5/1/2019

Akash Sandhu                                                                                                                     5/1/2019
The goal of this week was to have all manufacturing completed for all three of the guide arms and to test fit the guide arms onto the bogies. All of the guide arms assemblies are completed. I attempted to test fit the slave bogie guide arm and was faced with some small aligning problems. However, I have solve the problem and have successfully attached one of the guide arms to the slave bogie.  The other slave bogie is also ready to be attached to the slave bogie. The drive bogie guide arm is complete, but the interaction team did not have ready as of early Friday morning for me to attach my arm. There should be no problems with the drive bogie as long as the physical bogie matches the CAD model.
I have also weighed the arms, they are well below the 15 kg limit.
