On 8/30/17, we had our first meeting at the Spartan Superway warehouse to get an overview on what we will be working on and to see what groups each of us was assigned to. We were able to see the full scale, half scale, and 1/12 scale models of the project, as well as demonstrations of the half and 1/12 scales.
I was assigned to the 1/12-scale Controls team with Ben Trump and Coby Ilas. We spent some time getting to know each other while waiting for Eric and Dr. Furman to come prep us on what we'll be focusing on for the project. Our main task for the week is to research previous work that has been done by past Controls teams so that we can do a Lightning Talk this upcoming Wednesday, 9/6/17. The Lightning Talk is a 5 minute presentation on what we've found and in what direction we're planning on going.
Since the 1/12 scale work for the Controls team seems mostly done, I'm hoping my research into the work will give me a good understanding of how everything was accomplished so that I can apply what I've learned to the new Futran track that is going to be implemented. Because of this new style of track, it seems that many aspects of the project must be reworked from scratch.
For now, I have plenty of reading to do in order to obtain a better understanding of all the work that has been done thus-far.
