Today we had the ZOOM meeting with professor Furman, Mr. Ron and everyone in our class. During the class time, Dr. Furman mentioned that we can not have any hardware work done inside or outside the campus due to COVID-19. The plan for our project changed from fabricating the 11 Meter Track to study and research the environmental effect of our project. We still work and finish our 3D modeling, but unfortunately, we won't be able to fabricate what we are modeling. Our team is working towards the new goal that is set up for this project in this semester.

Due to COVID-19 our campus was closed and we had to work remotely for our course work and the project. Our teammate connects via facetime to discuss the changes we have base on the current situation. We set the new timing and plans for future work till we find more information for the current situation.

Today all ME195B students had to meet at Engr 189 for the conference that we had. After the conference, there was a short multiple-choice quiz base on the topic of the conference. After the meeting, all teams headed over to their project room. We arrived at the curt room around 3:20 to start working on our project. We spend about an hour and were able to get some modeling and fabricating done before we leave for the day.

After the meeting, our team met in the 11 Meter Track room. first, we finished the 3D modeling, and then we started working on presentation slides together. Towards the end, we took some pictures of our working room, so we can add them to the 5S slide for the reports.

We needed spaces for the straight track, so from the wood pieces provided by Ron, we tried to measure and cut 16mm spaces for the straight track. For the large wood piece, we are required to use the new table saw. We will continue to use the table saw to cut the large pieces for our spacers.

First day of Senior Project in Spring 2020. Today we present our project with its update. Track and Bogies are in the same condition as last semester, but we have a new design for the upright. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1vggwoSwu3oJf-_LUwbvHQu4hb8Q7XkkCZs_T6FXiFc8/edit?usp=sharing
