This week we prepared for our showing of the track at our in house makersfaire on Saturday. The track is fully complete, but we are waiting on the other small scale teams so that we can begin testing. We are right up on our deadline now, so it is a daunting prospect going into our demonstration without any testing beforehand. We will be returning on Thursday and Friday night for testing and adjustment of any problem areas.
This week we obtained all of the rails to be bent and started into the full swing of manufacturing our new curved sections. We have found out how to consistently get bends in our rails using a step by step process. We are following last years advice and having only one person (me) manufacture the rails so that there is not measurement bias or manufacturing differences between users of the track bender. We have begun receiving 3D printer samples from makerspace and found out that they are having great difficulties in getting us our orders, so we will need to revisit this.
