Brakes #31

Closed UVicFormulaHybrid closed 6 years ago

UVicFormulaHybrid commented 6 years ago

Context

We must repair and service our brakes. PLEASE WEAR THE BLUE NITRILE GLOVES ON THE PPE SHELF, these will not be melted by the brake fluid ;).

Outcomes

Fresh brake fluid
Sealed brake reservoir
Tied up brake lines so they do not rub on anything ( can use conduit instead of tying these up, ask ben if he has extra in machine shop )

And more non-critical path objectives

More efficient brake line routing
Reduced spongy feeling in brakes
Design easy bleeding system

Constraints

See Formula Hybrid Rules! The lines may not be anywhere they could be easily kicked or damaged

Related Issues

This must be finished for vehicle testing

Steps to reproduce behavior

Search for brake documentation
Determine best routing of braided lines to mitigate rubbing
Determine what is wrong with the bleeding mechanism and sponginess of brakes
Determine why reservoir leaks
Put together some possible solutions in a project proposal and show the rest of the team ( ask ben for proposal template/help )
Design review
Repair reservoir
Tie up lines
Bleed/flush brakes ( ben's roomate is going to help with the service )

Brakes have been bled. Fluid was clean. They feel stiff enough to lock the wheels up but we will have to test this. There is no more leak.
