Week 8: Drive Bogie V2

This week was spent refining the drive bogie design to a more concrete idea. This version still requires a set of lower clamping wheels but represents a our vision for the drive bogie.  The Drive bogie is meant to be a small bogie with the sole purpose of propulsion. This bogie will be very lightweight and will not be load bearing. This bogie will allow the slave bogie to be more simplistic and used to carry more components. The next step for the coming weeks is to finish the drive bogie design and modify bogies from previous years for use as a slave bogie. From there, we will perform FEA to ensure the designs can handle their intended loads.

Below is a picture of the current drive bogie iteration without wheels:
