Week 8 end

This week we filed in some of the holes with bando, and sanded down the excess to make a smooth surface.

Week 8

Today we got the new radios in for the race this summer thanks to Jason and Kirsten.  We also tested to see if some solar cells being donated will fit on the car.

Week 7 end

This week we organized the main propulsion wireing and finished testing the new battery boxes. We also sent the role cage out to thermal concepts and expect it back in around a week and a half.  We did not finish the breaks because one of the banjo conectors was cracked, and hope to finish it up as soon as possible next week. Overall we are making good progress and expect to finish very soon.

Week 7

Today wegot two of the new battery boxes, installed the batteries, and tested the size. This week we hope to get the last box with a slightly shorter lid, and finish all of the wireing. Than there wont be much to do next week, just the breaks and the array.

Week six end

This week we tested the cells in full sun and finished cleaning the top of the car. We did not finish the accessories because we dont have all of the swiches, and hope to finish it up as soon as possible next week. Overall the car is in working order, and just needs mechanical breaks, cells, and accessories for the race.

Week six

Today we removed most of the adhesive from the canopy, and tested some new cells. This week we hope to test the cells in better light, and finish cleaning the canopy. Than we can start building the new aray next week.

Week five end

This week we got the motor controler, phenix conectors, and cycle analyst working, and removed all of the cells from the aray to be replaced by newer ones. We are also troubleshooting the brakes and hope to finish soon.
