Week 5: Big changes

This week has been an emotional roller-coaster for the modeling team. Everything kicked off when Konrad Rahill had to leave the group for educational reasons. Then our contact with the data went dark on us. Right when it seemed that all hope was lost, the Swedes were able to get their hands on some terrain data, generate a model, and get everything organized! Work has now just started on creating the route model. Isaac Gendler has been assigned to create the guideway and perform shadow analysis, and Jie Guo has been assigned to create houses with the Swedish team. The estimated completion time should be next friday (if everything goes smoothly). We will be using the Civil team route for our model, (picture on the bottom), and we are all excited for the future.
