  Objective for the week (2/24/2021 - 3/3/2021): The objective for the week is to complete as much as we can to show our progress for the presentation on March 3rd. Our goal is to develop a docking mechanism that will position the bogie in a specific spot for charging. The team will gather the necessary items to create the docking mechanism. Individual tasks: Pedro Serenini: Research and develop designs for the charging station. Gather the necessary items to create the charging station. Assist integrating the devices. Yit Voon Yap (Nick): Research and develop designs for the charging station. Gather the necessary items to create the charging station. Assist integrating the devices. Phuc Tran: Develop a dashboard/control panel for the charging station. Assist integrating the devices. Use SolidWorks to demonstrate/create the docking mechanism. Jacob Villanueva: Edit the gantt chart. Prepare slides for presentation. Individual progress: Phuc Tran: Met at the design center. Used the ESP 32

Pedro Serenini Email: pedro.serenini@sjsu.edu Phone Number: 669-294-5839 Why do you want to work on Automated Transit Networks? I believe that Automated Transit Network is the future. Being able to create an environmentally friendly and space efficient transportation method is a necessity for big cities as they try to improve the quality of life of those living in it. I believe that through this project I'll be able to understand my part in creating this future and extend my knowledge on the subject. Yit Voon Yap (Nick) Email:  yitvoon.yap@sjsu.edu Phone Number:  669-261-3300 Why do you want to work on Automated Transit Networks? With my specialties on Mechatronics field of study, I urged to contribute to the Spartan Superway project to design a functional dashboard, control panel and data communication system. In this project, I  also seek to develop a better understand on IoT related techniques and knowledge. Phuc Tran Email: cuhptran@gmail.com Phone: 408-613-5947 Why do you wan
