A quick update on this week's progress. While we are set back due to some complications that have arisen at no fault of our own. We are having to redesign some of our bogies so that it is narrower (the motor team has informed us that the wheels on the new track will overhang). By doing this not only will the entire drive bogie have to be made thinner, but the route selection will also have to be made thinner or there will be some hanging off of the side of the bogie. The alternative is that we cut whatever overhangs the side of the bogie. 

Starting next week we will start to cut all of the materials using MakerSpace tools. We will specifically be looking to use the waterjet cutter. After all the materials are cut and assuming there are no flaws we will then begin assembly. To do this we will be using whatever welding material is available, hopefully, the welding tools supplied by MakerSpace.
