The team has been working very hard to get everything finished as we near the end of the semester. Our focus has been on completing all possible aspects of our design. We worked very hard to get all of our design mounted and ready to test. We displayed our design outside of the Herbert Wertheim Laboratory for Engineering Excellence on Friday 4/21. We took surveys and got lots of feedback on the design.

Before testing, the above picture shows the state of our design. Over 90% of the track was completed and connected with the remaining amount ready to be mounted soon after. The electronics for the design were all working together and were only running into problems with timing the few things we needed to time. The only MOIs not fully functional were the rocket, as the friction in the system was too high for the motor to pull it all of the way across the design, and necessity, as the motor has ruin into problems moving the flowers in CJ Walker’s hair.

In the coming week we will be adding finishing touches and presenting our design at the Final Design Review!
