Track Dissection (Blog #2)

As part of the small scale team, not only do I have to tackle the programming/controls part of the project but also the track part too. The sketch below represents a birds eye view of the existing track. The red dashed lines represent where we should implement a cutoff. If we put a cutoff in the red-dashed regions, we can have the main track be in five parts. The red circles also represent attach points so the wayside pickups can also be disassembled easier too. Having the track in these pieces will enable us to disassemble/assemble the track faster while still being easy to transport. Another benefit will be for smoother ride of the pods going around the track because there will be less attach points to ride over.
