Week 2: Introductions

This week we were assigned to our sub-project teams. I am apart of Spartan Superway's Half-Scale Suspension Team this year, along with Colin Wong and Salvador Hernandez. One of the primary goals of our project is to allow the cabin to be leveled while ascending or descending on the track. The suspension must also include dampeners to reduce vibrations and ensure a smooth ride for the passengers. The scope of our work consists of building a suspension that is not only reliable and consistent, but easy to manufacture and at a low cost. We hope that our design will be sufficient enough to carry on to the full scale model in the near future.
