Bogie team update for week of 6/27-7/1

   During this week we have been working on motor control and on designing the complete assembled bogie. We have created a program that makes the motor spin at different speeds and have a reverse function. For the design aspect, we have been working on implementing the steering mechanism within our new design of the bogie. We also brainstormed different propulsion systems and began designing these systems. We created a design for the the complete motor involving the motor its selfs, the shaft, and the breaking disk. We also designed the actuator we plan to use and the different propulsion systems we were planning to use. We had some issues in implementing the steering system within our new design, for our jack mechanism started getting in the way. However, after some brainstorming among the team we were able to solve the issues that we have ran into so far.
