Budget/Scheduling

The schedule for the design process starts with rough sketches and analysis that are calculated and submitted weekly. In addition, drawings are submitted and examined weekly. In winter, the construction process began with machining the rear shaft of the RC Baja and 3D printing the motor and bearing housings. At the end of the winter quarter the rest of the shafts are machined and the chassis cut and drilled. The process of assembling the parts started and ended during the last two weeks of the quarter. 

The schedule of the testing started off with the max speed test, deflection test, drop test, ramp test, and durability test. However, the max speed test was done twice.

Gantt Chart Schedule

The budget is mainly for purchased parts such as motor, battery, gears, belt, and materials for housing. Meanwhile there is an estimated budget for labor; however labor done for the RC Baja is done by the engineering team. Housings for the different components are machined at Hogue Hall and other components are purchased at online vendors. The budget for the RC Baja is estimated to be $350 and $1500 for the hypothetical labor. However, the actual total cost for nine parts is $330.70 which includes the cost from taxes and shipping as shown below.
