Brake


 * BRAKE TASK FORCE**

We are using the shifter handle to activate a brake pad attached to a caliper and flexure joints.
 * Current Overall Status and Plan:**

[|]
 * Status of Fabrication Work**:
 * __**Name of Part**__ || __**Type of Work**__ || __**Owner**__ || __**Notes**__ ||
 * Shifter Handle (1/4 in aluminum) || Waterjet ||  ||   ||
 * Flexure brackets (1/2 in aluminum) || waterjet ||  ||   ||
 * Caliper (from 1/8 in aluminum) || Waterjet ||  ||   ||
 * Brake Pad (from stock wheel tire) || Hand ||  ||   ||
 * Shifter connector piece || Mill ||  || Remember to make mirrored versions ||

We are worried about the shifter pulley not being rigidly supported to the outer housing. When braking a large moment is going to be applied to this shaft holding the pulley and handle onto the hub.
 * Problems/Issues:**

The flexure joints need some development to make sure that they will survive the displacement and the shear loading.
