Francisco-Trejo-SpartanSuperway

For the week of 10/24/18 we presented our Presentation 2 to the class. We got some well needed feedback for what we can improve on as well as a better idea of what we need to accomplish. We need to converse with the guideway team to make sure our canopy can integrate well with theirs. One big aspect is how we will connect multiple parts of the canopy together and as a team we need to come together to figure that out. It has taken a while for our team to form the correct chemistry to effectively work together but I believe we are finally starting to go down the right track. -Francisco Trejo

For the week of 10/17/18 we were able to start constructing our powerpoint for presentation number 2. We looked over the comments left from presentation 1 and discussed n how we can further address those issues and improve. Further development for the CAD models are under way and expect to have 2/3 different designs by Oct 31. Weekly zoom meetings are proving to be very beneficial on top of meeting on wednesdays so we will continue to keep that up as the semester goes by. -Francisco Trejo

For the week of 10/10/18 we continued to work on our assigned tasks, working to meet the requirements of the second presentation which is coming up soon. Further improvements on the gantt chart were done as well as cooperative work done on the CAD files. -Francisco Trejo

For the week of 10/3/18 we had a meeting with Professor Furman and Ron Swenson about some possible designs and different forms of fabricating our solar canopy. We also spoke to Brad Diaz who was interested in helping out with the solar team. Thanks to this very helpful meeting we now have a better idea of the overall goal and some challenges we will be facing in the weeks to come. -Francisco Trejo
