Instructor: Matt Turner
Students: Jessica Revell, Alex Wong, Chris Quon, Faiyaz Mohammed (incoming transfer).
Since we had a newcomer in the group, we basically talked about the SB Competition on the whole. The basics of a design profile, major rules that need to be followed, construction site, what competition is like, and how we get from sketch on napkin to final competition product.
We watched some video as well, saw Wisconsin's Northridge NSSBC run from 2007, and we saw Michigan's San Diego NSSBC run from 2003.
A design challenge was set as well. The goal was to come up with a basic design concept for the 2006 Rules -- with particular emphasis on bridge type selection according to scoring. As for constructability details, section size selection, and connection design, that's something we'll discuss this Thurday, July 19 at 6 pm in the Chrome Ollie Loft at Bainer Hall.
Until then, we march on, exciting times, Rules are a few weeks away!
