Mechanical Team

Braking

Must design braking system which correlates with new chassis design.



Propulsion

Must determine suitable shaft diameters for use in drivetrain. Must solidify components of drivetrain (eg. specifications of gearboxes) Drivetrain redesign to correlate with new chassis is likely.

Power System

Power System Current inventory will be used to test the charging and discharging of batteries. Collaborate with Control System to monitor the current and voltage of the batteries. Validate and test step down for the 3.3V and 5V that Control System will require. Validate past designs for 30V batteries circuit and run simulation for the 30V as well as 3.3V/5V. Research how the current fuse in the inventory will be wired with the batteries. Validate fuse in circuit. Provide power to the motor controller which in turn will power the motor.
