This week the interns made a lot of progress on the summer projects. We are getting close to having a few working prototypes. For Spring Creek we built a mock pedal system that we designed during the school year. It was semi-complicated, compared to the usual pedaling system, so we had test it to make sure it would work without binding. We played around with the mock-up and ran a few tests to prove the concept. Now that we know the concept is usable, we can start ordering parts to make an accurate, quality system to test with. For this, we will contact Chuck Newberg, Spring Creek owner, to get some of his material to build with. Also, we will order other materials and components for the prototype, including bearings, props, and square tubing.
