Week 7: Report Guidelines and Prototype

Dr. Du gave a 1 hour lecture about the final report guidelines. After, we headed back to Spartan Superway and discussed how to handle the swinging issue in our prototype design.

Over the weekend, Colin, Salvador, and I met at Salvador's house and used his workstation to rapid prototype our design. We used a drill press, popsicle sticks, and fasteners to simulate a linkage similar to our design. Below is a picture of our rapid prototype, which keeps the pod car leveled just like we assumed.

We will meet to further investigate the issues regarding the swinging motion found when using our design.
