This page will be the running schedule for the construction of Cornell's 2001 Moonbuggy. Our completion date goal is Friday, Febuary 16. The Emerson machine shop on the first floor of Rhoads Hall is where we are doing the majority of our construcion. It's hours are:

MON 8:00-4:30
TUE 8:00-4:30, 5:00-9:00
WED 8:00-4:30, 5:00-9:00
THU 8:00-4:30
FRI 8:00-4:30
SAT 9:00-12:00, 1:00-5:00

We also do a good deal of work in our lab in 321 Kimball Hall. The following schedule lays out what must be accomplished and their target dates in order to achieve our goal. The tasks are color coded to show who is resposible for getting it done. Each part must be finished on or before the day listed. Note that nobody is listed for the axles. These will be very difficult parts to manufacture and the responsibility for their construction should be divided among everyone on the team. In other words, if you finish a part early, start workin' on the axles :) If you are unsure what is involved in the manufacture of a part that you are assigned to, ask! It would be a bummer to not have a part finished on time simply because you didn't know what needed to be done. Also, if certain purchased components are required for you to make your part make sure that they will arrive in time for you to do the required machining in order to make your deadline. For example Vince will need to know how big the bearings are that are going to fit into the uprights so that he can drill the holes for them by Saturday. He therefore needs to make sure that Stanley has gotten the bearings in (or at least ordered them) so that he can know how big to drill the holes.

If you feel that you won't be able to finish all your assigned parts in time (or that you'll have lots of extra time!) let Brett know so he can adjust the schedule.
