Hi,
this week I worked on the Presentation. I took pictures, gathered documents, and brainstormed notes - all of which, will be going on the slides. Our team also met up on Saturday where I was able to finish most of the slides or get them started on the right path. This week is slightly less productive for me with respect to the superway project because we have the presentation and writing assignment deadlines rapidly approaching.

Hi,
this week was rather productive on a macroscopic level because we were busy establishing a stronger foundation for all the teams to communicate as one. As suggested from blog two, I was going to recommend the plans for a more lego-like structure of a track so that a manufacturer can literally build a few unique pieces infinitely and create infinite tracks. Of course, this does not account for varying landscapes or dimensions but the connecting pieces will allow room for any piece to simply fit right in there. I also proposed that, instead of trying to fix the previous track and redesigning, we simply redesign the new track so that our team will have more time to test and find out the kinks afterward. We will have more time to redesign and improve the Superway this way. After some convincing, the rest of my team agreed that it would ultimately be better.

9/14/16 Blog # 2
Hi,
during this week, my team and I got to accustom ourselves to what tools were available and what the half-scale track looked like. It was not as beautiful as what the report indicated and we may need to completely recreate the track. Anyway, the three of us discussed some tentative ideas on how to improve the track because we noticed that the curvatives were incorrect due to different manufacturers and the track's lack of repeatability. After juggling the issues and ideas around, we spoke with Eric Hagstrom and we seem to be on the right track. I also looked read last year's report on the track to get a better idea of their plans. I think I have a rough idea of what designs I want to implement and will be bringing those to the table for discussion, tomorrow.
