PROJECT
PROPOSAL

Some major lessons about engineering I learned during this project were the importance of trial, error, and correcting; coordinating the...

Today was our last day to work on our project. We finalized the mechanical components of our project – we mounted our back and front...

We have made a lot of progress. We have been working on the mechanical aspects of our car where we are actually able to build our car...

Before class today, we worked on our circuit boards. Using the mapped outline of our circuit board that we made last class, we...

Today in class we did a number of things. Before class, Ava wired our circuit on a separate breadboard. She spent time planning out where...

In class today, we tried to print out the axles for our steering with the Resin printer upstairs; however, due to a lack of resources, we...

Class today was incredibly productive as we made serious headway on our project. First, we retrieved our printed chassis and started...

Between classes, we went to GCAD to see how our print was doing. It failed, so we printed again. It failed again. However, there are a...

Today, we ran into a couple of issues. Before class, we had come to print out our chassis cover, which is the biggest component of our...

Before class on Monday, we came into GCAD to print out our chassis. Unfortunately, when we arrived to class on Monday, our 3D print had...

Today, we finished printing the motor mount and started printing the steering arm. After consulting with Ms. Selan and incorporating our...

In class today, we started the 3D printing process. We have five components: right axle, left axle, chassis, motor mount, and steering...

We had a very productive day today. Overall, we organized our plan for the rest of the term, being mindful of the amount of time we have...

Before and in class today, we furthered our design for our car chassis. On Fusion, we started designing our Ackermann steering, which is...

In class today, we started taking measurements of our parts in order to design our car chassis in Fusion. We researched how ESC works,...

In class, we discussed the mechanical aspects of our project with Ms. Selan. We worked on how to design our car, specifically with...

Today in class, we finished doing a practice run on the KiCad to design a motor drive PCB circuit. Pictured below is our final product....

Today, we worked on creating the code for our motor to spin. We are using an Arduino Uno R3, and we also tried connecting the servo to...

In class today, we worked on the back of our Voltera Punk Console test circuit. We calibrated the ink and finished the printing process...

Today, we continued to work on our Voltera Punk Consule test print. We spent the first segment of class aligning the board to the holes...

Today, in class, we are working to create a test circuit board using the Voltera Punk Console tutorial. We have been following the steps...

Figure 1: Example train set with modular design In class today, we worked through the details of many of the design goals for our...

For our project, we are creating remote-controlled F1-style race cars to be raced on a track which we will build ourselves. We want to...
