3 June – 9 June

Discussion of future plans

  1. Cooling mechanism such as using dry ice to cool ice
  2. Alternative material for caps to achieve both low friction and low heat transfer such as low-friction plastic
  3. Obtain spring for energy conservation and reversing mechanism
  4. Design round-bottomed container to create round-bottomed ice (for stability on tracks)
  5. Design round tracks to allow turning with banking

Decided to make track components from the mechanical workshop instead of 3D printing previous design

  1. New Risk Assesment
  2. New design completed and will be cut in the mechanical workshop and pieced together with screws. The pieces can only be collected in end June
