During this week we brainstormed on ideas for redesigning braking. So far we have went through brake disks, band brakes, and motor braking as possible options but spacing of our current design will not allow for band brake or disk brakes. Additionally considering motor braking we concluded to not risk damaging the motors as they are expensive.
We spoke to our advisers for possible options and are looking at modifying a brake caliper to come in contact with the rail for braking.
Design of propulsion is complete. Plan on 3-D printing the gears to attach to model being built by steering/bogie team.
