Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Team has come to consensus on design of the blade brace and sled. The team is opting for a multiple blade brace design where one blade will be at the rear of the sled and the other sled will be half way in between the front and rear of the sled. The front blade may be attached by slider guides in order to adjust the distance between the two blade braces.
