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! 

This Week's Goals!

We must obtain the master chain link, then connect it to the sprocket and motor.
We must mount the front wheels.
We must acquire an 80 amp DC breaker to connect the charge controller.
We must find/connect the tie bars.
We must connect the gas pedal and bleed the breaking system.

Goal Outcomes

1. Did not get chain connected to sprocket and motor- Missing Master Chain Link, need chain length correct chain and chain placement
2. Front wheel placement postponed- Waiting for proper tires, looking for tie bars
3. Charge controller - waiting for 80-amp DC breakers
4. Steering/Tie-bars not connected- Looking for tie-bars located in the back room. 
5. Accelerator - acquired gas pedal from electric go-kart, awaiting further connection to sk2
6. Brakes- still need to bleed braking system

Other accomplishments: Wired main power switches 

Week Starter

Planning on finishing SK2.  Up and running by Friday.
Wheels yesterday were giving trouble, still need air.

GOALS FOR THIS WEEK

1. Get chain connected to sprocket and motor

2. Front wheel placement

3. Connect charge controller

4. Steering / axle connected

5. Develop accelerator

6. Connect brakes

LET'S GO!!!

All Is Well

Things are looking nice.

Chris went ahead and laid out the parameters for the senior  project.
My goal is to hone all of this information in and to begin on the smaller writing pieces involved therein. 

Eric showed me the wiring he and his partner are working on.

Today, I've been informed and impressed. 

Let's keep up the good work!

Currently gathering Senior project information for all.  Deadlines, paperwork, Project guidelines.
Sprocket and chains are being sorted.  Motor controller is being mounted, Charge controller is planning to be wired.
