Week 3: Getting Ready to Present

Next week is going to be our first major presentation in the Spartan Superway Project. A lot of information needs to be sorted to make the presentation possible. This week we gained some insight as to how the Futran system works. This gives us a good starting point so that we can begin creating specifications for our railway system.

Week 2: Lightning Talk

This week we gave our first lightning talk which can be seen on the group blog post. We discussed some design specifications and gained some insight from the Spartan Superway team after our presentation. This gave us a better understanding of where we are going. Angelo reached out to Kevin Yoshihara who previously worked on the track manufacturing team for some insight. Unfortunately, Kevin Yoshihara is not available to meet with us but he gave us some information on things to watch out for and be prepared for during the manufacturing process. We still do not have the best understanding of the Futran system and are still waiting for more information so that we can begin planning and designing our track.
