University of Manitoba Quarter Scale Tractor Student Design Team
The team made it to Peoria with good time (5am-8:30pm). The drive down was productive: We had the chance to polish up the GSL and maneuverability mode program, reviewed our control system and practice the presentation. Unfortunately, P18 suffered some mechanical issues during transit. We have another earlier morning ahead of us.
The team is improving the electric motors response, refining the exhaust guarding, determining the optimal ballast location, and mounting some finishing touches. The team will be packing and leaving around 5 am tomorrow morning.
There is just a few more minor parts that need to be installed onto the tractor. Painting of the entire tractor will happen this weekend. Stay tuned for finished painted tractor!
With only 16 days till competition.
Now it’s all about putting it all together.
The build is coming along great so far. Stay tunned for more exciting updates like these!
