In last week, we are pleased to have our second Spartan SuperWay meeting and at the beginning of the meeting, every member made a one minute speech on reviewing some of reports and papers written by the previous team. Many of us commented how what expectation they have for the upcoming project and some of their advice on the design of the mechanical part or structure of the ATN. Then we move on dividing ourselves into teams that are responsible for different parts of the project, such as the structure of the guide, the full scale model, the mock up model of the ATN system and the cabin design. I have joined the group in which we want to improve the mechanical part of the powertrain of the full scale design. We have decided sub-teams need to be set up for respective areas: steering, active suspension and fail-safe system. I have signed up  to take part in improving the fail-safe system because I am particularly interested in adding a brake system into the design in order to make the design fully functional and realistic. We  needed to do some follow-up by further reading the documents done by the previous team in order to gain better understanding in the design and discovery potential rooms for improvement.
