End of Fall Semester

Figure 1. 30ft straight guideway

Over the Thanksgiving break, Shane and Alex picked up the lumber and wooden stands. They built a 30ft straight guideway as shown in Figure 1. Next, we will need to level and straighten the guideway. We will need to adjust the width between the rails. The aluminum and steel third rail materials will need to be bought and added to the guideway.

It is the week before final exams. The Wayside team has been working on the electrical system development. More will be done over the winter break. Further work will be done on the conductor shoe mechanism design.
