Major Movements

Welding has been ongoing all week since the stand has been built. 

Brake issues are being worked out at this very moment.

The name for the solar car has been born: SOLAR TEMPLAR.

And now I must find a photoshop mastermind to design a killer logo for that name.

On top of this, individual emails have been sent to each actor/actress in the impending video.

Hopefully, once we get a camera and the lines are written, we can
film something conducive to Kickstarter success!

New Objective

As the search for a cheap, functional, local motorcycle transmission goes on, my focus remains on the solar car video remake. This week I plan on assigning parts to each person, and emailing the basic assignment to each actor's email. We also need to think up a new name for the solar car! Goals, goals, goals. Let's go.

As some goals are reached, others are born

This week, we started by building a stand for welding upon, and once that project was finished, the eyes all averted. Why? Welding is now underway!

A new goal has also surfaced: make a video to boost our cause's Kickstarter appeal. Martin and I sat down and story-boarded. We have decided to use the Cambridge video as inspiration:

Goals for this week.

1. Continue working on welding stand.
2. Check up on all groups, especially regarding funding ideas.
3. Continue search for cheap, local motorcycle transmission!
4. Work out kinks with break pedal

Need a Welding Stand!

In order to begin welding, we need a place to weld. Martin has assigned Chase to handle it since he has experience in welding. But I plan to help out on the construction of the stand, at least, since I don't need prior welding knowledge to do so.

Post-Success Cleanup

Now that we've got this thing on wheels, Martin asks that we straighten up and begin looking forward to bigger goals. New tubes are needed, gearbox research is in its early stages, and the brakes are being finalized. Plus, the fiberglass bubble has been assigned!

Goals for Week

1. Research motorcycle gearbox
2. Begin the welding process
3. Build a welding stand
4. Make phone calls!
