This week's main focus was connecting with all other full-scale teams. The full-scale integration team was intent on getting the final dimensions and requirements for the full-scale bogie. This meant that it was extremely important to get some definitive dimensions from all other teams. We were able to get a motor selected by the motor team. While this is helpful we are still unaware of the amount of space that they will need to mount the motor as they don't have a gearbox selected. The wayside power team was able to confirm they will no longer be using 5 super caps, and instead will be using 2 large super caps instead. It was also possible to organize with the controls team the number of motors and actuators to create a functional guidance system. A passive wheel system was also designed to maximize the traction of the powered wheels.

As we move forward we continue to try and improve our previous design while being flexible so that other teams have some flexibility to change their designs. As we continue through the semester the goal will be to make this as modular as possible while keeping it easily manufacturable.
