This week, we are focused on our prototype. We have been in contact with AJ Snytsheuvel who is trying to coordinate a meeting with Vander-Bend. We hope that they might be able to help us construct our prototype out of whatever materials we decide.

For our prototype, we will probably utilize MDF or some thicker posterboard to fabricate our columns. The main focus of the prototype will be the footings and the methods necessary to connect footings, columns, and guideway together. We have a few potential methods to connect everything together:

• clamp
• bolted cantilever beam
• attached sleeve

Other than that, we are mainly taking a rest from our presentation, and focusing on our upcoming writing assignment that will be due soon.
