This week we started assembling all of the new curved sections of the track and new brackets to see how everything would fit together. We were hoping that the other small scale teams would be ready to start testing, but they are facing harddrive failures and having difficulties coding, so hopefully next week we can begin testing the track.
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.
