Wheels Up

Air compressor parts are connected, pumped rear tire today.  Awaiting valve stems from Matt.  
Jason is currently mounting the motor controller and we are in this project.  

Short Update

      One tire has air! This is good news. Two more to go, in the front. On top of that, Matt has said he will be getting the needed valve stems this weekend.

The Meeting

       Today, Mr. Martin pulled me, Chris, and some others aside to deliver some words of advice. He wants us to actually initiate. Instead of putting "Find valve stems" on the task manager, we have been ordered to, well, give orders. We directed the task towards Camillo; other tasks are soon to be doled out to the class. We will get our tasks complete one way or another.

For now, wheels are the priority.

Stagnation

Stagnation.
Chris and I have activated both a wish list and check list.
They are being added to naturally by the other groups.
As they develop, a proper inventory for the whole project will be assembled naturally.
For now, in the absence of Mr. Martin, I have been following Chris, Fernando, and Jeffrey around and helping where I can. 
Progress resumes Monday.

Return Trip

Got back last night from my road trip.  Been gone for 2 weeks.
My focus now is to get UPDATED ASAP on all progress that has been made.
Richard got us off to a good start from an executive stand point by downloading and distributing the Winston Solar Car Challenge rules and regulations to our team.
The start of this major project IS IN MOTION!!

Moving Along

Gmail affairs are part of the agenda.
It feels nice to see progress being made. 
As of now, my gmail account is collecting the emails of my classmates.
With their emails, I will connect us all to a google doc and write up a quick to-do / wish list.
Each separate group will be able to input their specific needs.
This will make the whole process of part purchasing far more transparent.
I like this idea.
And it shall get done.
