Last week on 9/30/15, the failsafe/bogie team presented our presentation about our ideas for the fail safe mechanisms. During this presentation we discussed about our goals for this project, the background, functional specifications, challenges, possible failures, and individual responsibilities. The week leading up to the presentation the failsafe team discussed ideas about how to implement the failsafe system within the existing bogie design, and came to a conclusion of adding a third wheel to the bottom of the bogie. Since the last meeting most of the team has been researching how roller coasters design their failsafe systems, since the ATN is similar. In addition to looking into a failsafe mechanism, we recently got the solidworks files for the full scale bogie, hopefully we can calculate a 1/4 scale soon.
