Monday, things are looking okay...


The frame is coming together, and preparations need to be made as far as mounting steering/wheels. 
Our goal is to make the steering something simple to weld together in such a small amount of time, which is why we are going to try and use something similar to either the Electrothon or SK2, or perhaps a hybrid of the both of them. 



This picture is an example of a very stable setup, one that we should/could try and emulate on our car, if time permits:

Frame Progress, Video Stagnation


While the frame continues to be welded together, piece by piece, it look like some stagnation has set in as far as the kickstarted video goes. While, initially, the dilemma was waiting for everybody to finish their lines (which, for most, happened well after the deadline I arranged), the problem now is simply editing the draft video together. It is rough, and poorly prepared for, but will hopefully give us an idea of what the real thing will look/sound like, and whether or not it is viable material for drawing in sponsorship. Video progress will continue as time permits, but, for now, the main priority is getting that chassis rolling!
