We have reviewed the work of the past months to verify the prototypes. Through the lightning talks of each teams, we all have seem to be on track. The full scale however is in the process of obtaining funds to build the actual prototypes for Maker Faire. The Full Scale Bogie Team, our team, has estimated up to $10,000 for the Bill of Materials. It seems we have a client that is willing to invest in the Spartan Superway. However, the client has requested that we attempt the reduce the cost as much as possible. In result, the team will use plywood to replace sheet metal. This benefits us as costs will significantly drop and fabrication will be more simpler.
Using 1/4 in of Birch wood, the team will get the plywood laser cut which is less costly as compared to plasma cutting steel sheet metal.
