Week 5: Thursday Lab Meeting


This week the group further discussed how we would like to build the gear system and its housing. We decided that the gear shafts must be made of metal and talked about different possibilities for the shape of these shafts. For the housing of the gear system we settled on using 6" of PVC piping and end caps. This will be easy to drill through and set up the gear system inside, while creating other openings to keep as aerodynamic as possible. We hope to have these pieces by next lab.
