  16. Questions/Comments

  17. Braking Team

  18. Team Members • Jake Schramm - Project Leader • Justin Sohn -Webmaster • Rachel Pauley - Team Liaison

  19. Semester Progress • Determined exact location of brake pedal • Decided to buy new brakes parts as opposed to transferring old ones • Visited Go-Kart and Bike Shops to research new parts • Research prices

  20. Semester Progress • Created Decision Matrix on Emergency Brake System • Traveled to stores • Matching tires on car • Purchased Brake Parts • Started assembling braking system • Planning and collaborating on brake assembly with Steering Team

  21. Gantt Chart

  22. Emergency Brake System

  23. Challenge with Tires • Original tires would not work with our brakes • Two Options • Buy 4 New tires • Purchase 2 new tires for back wheels

  24. Purchased Parts

  25. Purchased Parts

  26. Purchased Parts

  27. Purchased Parts

  28. Brake System Assembly • (Pictures)

  29. Attachment of Brakes on Car • Planning Stage • Collaborated with steering team • Axle • Welding of Parts

  30. End of Semester • Prepare sketches for brake system • Plan on how to apply brakes for next semester • Prepare transitional document

  31. Questions/Comments

  32. Steering Team SOAP

  33. Steering Housing • Calculated the location of the steering housing-14” tall 12” from front • Based off the angle of the steering shaft, location of the front seat and height of the car

  34. Steering Housing • 4x4 piece of wood drilled into the floor of the car • Hood of the car rests on top of the housing • Attached steering wheel to steering shaft

  35. Steering Housing • Drilled hole in the floor for the steering shaft • This allows the shaft to be attached to the linkage on the front axle

  36. Underside of the Body • Consisted of a combination of our original design and a bedframe design • Decided on this after a 6-3-5 brainstorming activity

  37. Underside of the Body • Used 2x2 pieces of wood and L-brackets • Will test deflection with the same test plan that was used on the old underside of the body

  38. Axle Test Step 1: We placed our front axle with the steering linkage fully assembled inside a clamp to support it

  39. Axle Test Step 2: Going by increments of 10 pounds, we slowly added weight to each spindle until the axle started to break

  40. Axle Test Step 3: At 160 pounds the screws on either side of the wood started to rip out of the wood

  41. Solutions • Change axle material • Brackets • Change orientation of U-bracket

  42. Questions/Comments

  43. DFMEA (Separate into Teams) • Steering System – 720/1000 RPN • Improper slip clutch setting • Durability of Brakes – 200/1000 RPN • Must function properly during all day race • Wheels • Axle SOAP
