The Short Bus“That’s how we roll.”April 12, 2006 • Michael Harrison • Will Moore • James Nishimuta • Clint Perry • Alex Podust • Caleb Monk
Last Week • Prototype Review • Bring current prototype • Construction Status • What still needs to be completed • Difficulties encountered in acquiring materials or fabrication
This Week • Prototype Review • Bring current prototype • Construction Status • What still needs to be completed • Difficulties encountered in acquiring materials or fabrication
Significant Updates • All parts are in shop or completed, except for cable which will be purchased already made. • Diameter of top plate pins were modified to accommodate cap hole diameter of 1.12 in. • Release latch geometry simplified • Have cap for handle, need to drill holes for pegs
Concerns • Time-frame for manufacture/assemble • Once parts are made, we have to be there to have it attached to the jack • Some assemblies require all of the parts to be made before assembly • Shop work load • Other people working on prototypes as well as the normal work load of the shop
Current Work • Have cap for handle, need to drill holes for pegs • Purchase materials for parts we are going to manufacture ourselves • Still need to purchase cable, manufacture release handle, manufacture cable lever • Start working on final report/presentation
Next Week • Prototype update
