This is a chart Ben made to visualise our progress to date and ensure we are on track



At this stage our groups progress seems to be going well and all seems to be on track to meet our project goals. We've tried to allow time for delays and any other details we have not considered. Individual Aim:
Working with an Agile development strategy means that our goals and responsibilities vary week to week. There are some weeks when the weighting of responsibility and work load are not evenly distributed but as a group and as individuals we are aware of this and are able shift workload amungst each other to ensure we are all putting in an equal effort overall. This is made easy by our teams motivation towards the project and willingness to contribute where needed.

My Major Milestone to date would be the completion of my assigned solid works models. This included learning how to use the program and model my allocated parts; rear sprocket, hub, rim, tire and front hub rim and tire. The task included modeling these components to a 2mm tolerance to ensure they are an accurate reflection of the real motorcycle parts. To ensure this accuracy I had to measure the dimensions of the physical components.

One of the most critical components to model is the rear sprocket, The position of the sprocket is vital in ensuring the relationship between the rear wheel and drive train. These measurements will be important in lining up the rear wheel and engine, as well as ensuring that the chain does not clash with any part of the featherbed frame.



The dimensions of the tires are also important in making sure the tires do not interfere with the frame (in width)allowing the wheel to rotate freely, similarly the height of the tire is important in ensuring to ensure vertical movement (in conjunction with swing arm) will not clash with frame.
