Kevin Yoshihara Spartan Superway: Week 35: Builds Complete, Final Report, Documentation, Presentations

As the title of this post suggests, the builds have been completed.

The solar panel rack was built in a method similar to the other solar panel racks. Holes were drilled in the large stock aluminum pieces with a drill press. Most other holes were drilled with a cordless powered hand drill. Measurements and locations of holes were taken from the previously built rack. A nonfunctional solar panel was used to test-fit the clearances of the rack, which provided positive results.

The bogie backstop requirements were changed from metal diamondplate to a more forgiving piece of wood. As such, a simple design made out of scrap pieces of plywood, 1" x 2", 2" x 4", and some screws, with the goal being simple attachment to the already complete track. The method of attachment used is a hook system, with the hooks made out of scrap pieces of plywood.

The presentation for the Senior Design Conference need to be worked on, and will showcase much of the same information as what has been shared throughout the course of the past year. Documentation on how to use the material bender, the states of the machines within the shops, handoff of the tasks, and the final report to summarize what has been accomplished need to be complete as well.
