Week 3: Finalizing Function Specifications

SEPT. 12th 2018--Small Scale Bogie System (Day 3)

Task Items:
-Finalize feature specs.

Summary:

Everyone went to their respective groups and worked on finalizing their feature specs. We had Kevin, who was on last years small-scale track team, visit the small scale squad and where he gave us some insight. As far as information related to the bogie he insured that the motors would need to be changed, for they burned out, and for determining bend radius he recommended looking into how trains do it. 

While with the small scale squad was together we established a line of communication through a shared google folder and also a group chat using Slack. We discussed the possibility of producing three functional bogies to have running on the track. Whether it will be three different designs or one design reproduced will need to be decided. 

Progress:
The following items will need to be quantified in order to complete the functional specifications:
Weight
Speed
Size (Build volume)
Grade
Acceleration
Run Time
Power Consumption and Rate
