During this week, presentations continued and groups finalized their designs. Many groups are running into manufacturing issues with the makers space water jet cutter being down. They discussed potential improvisations and how they will proceed. For small scale, we had a monumentous accomplishment of completely finishing all of the welding required and we can now focus on assembling the track bender.
The other small scale teams were not able to get their designs working by Friday night, so the first testing happened during the demonstration. There were some problem areas of the track that we did not notice (and could not notice) before testing began, but these can be polished up by next years team. The demonstration went well overall, and next years team should be well prepped to continue our work. We will leave behind a fully assembled track, functioning track bender, and spare parts for them to work with. It has been a good year with Spartan Superway, and we wish future years' teams the best of luck.
