Small-Scale-Vehicle-Design-Team

Week 1: Design week  (6/25 - 6/28) Monday: We focused on brainstorming potential interior designs. The interior designs have to be able to fit 4-6 people. We took measurements of the full scale model, and focused on implementing the open concept so that traveling can be more luxurious, and comfortable. In addition, our team decided we could use foldable seating, or benches so that we could have space to possibly fit two bikes per pod car. We also decided on adding a few additional features. We first prototyped our design by forming a cardboard diorama.                         Tuesday: Each of us drew several sketches of what the pod car could potentially look like, as well as making a digital sketch using SketchUp. We researched the general requirements for space and seating in a bus, so we could model the interior of the pod car accordingly. We made adjustments to the general shape of the car, now being hexagonal to represent a gondola. We also tested the 3D printer to see ho

This week we presented to the team, our plan on accomplishing our task for this summer. In our presentation we talked about the deliverables that we will be accomplishing, how we will be accomplishing it, and included a week-by-week visual of our Gantt chart. We also began taking measurements of the existing scale models, and brainstorming designs we could implement on the existing pod car.
