Week 7

This week, we drilled new holes and cut copper rails for the left side of the track. We were able to finish one side of the track with the ends missing. There are a few problems that happen, which took the rails longer than expected to finish. The copper rails broke in half, and that made us redrill new holes and remake the copper rails.  We also briefly discussed with the bogie team about how a track change would occur.  We plan to have a shovel-like guide, made of wood, that would guide a derailed pair of shoe collectors into the PVC pipe.  A 3D printed part will be printed to prevent a pair of derailed shoe collectors to not dangle freely.
