Our second prototype emergency brake system prototype, after changing springs and the brake caliper positioning
Comparison of steering wheel set-up of previous team (left) and our new and improved design (right)
Our first test with a completed Emergency Brake Prototype System
CAD drawing of final design of brake caliper mount
Brake caliper mount fully machined in aluminum
CAD drawing of metal to be laser cut
Lever after being pressed using pneumatic bender
Final design of electromagnet mount printed in PLA-CF
First iteration printed in PLA did not have the correct angle and thus needed adjustments
Testing range of electromagnet, roughly 1.27 cm (0.5 in)
Testing temperature of electromagnet without any dissipation
Brushless DC motor
Sensor attached to column reads torque and converts based on length of spin
