Week 3/15 to 3/22

This week, the team spend time on manufacturing the corrugated metal strip for the whole track. The team first cut out metal strips with the sheet metal shear in the shop, then use our device to create the corrugated metal strips. Because of random error made by human during cutting out the metal strips, the width of the metal strip cannot be exactly 5 mm as designed. Our team tried to control the cutting process in order to keep the width of the metal strip to be 5.5 ± 0.5 mm. A few strips was measured to be out of the tolerance level because of the improper manufacture process, and we replaced them with new strips. The strips were successfully cut and corrugated, the team is waiting for the completion of the track.
