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!

DEADLINE

Goals include develop steering for new prototype.
TWO WEEKS.
Till the second chassis due date is.
Welding is in motion.  This is what we have so far.

Short Week, Long List of Goals

1. Work on/ finish kickstarter rough draft video
2. Begin welding frame
3. Check up on everybody's progress, with finishing the mock car as the main goal.

Conduit is in!

We have conduit, and we have Mr. Toot to weld for us, too. So the race against the clock begins, as final adjustments to the design are underway before we fend off the encroaching close of the second quarter with a rolling chassis as the ultimate objective. If we make it in time, our grades are spared. If we fail to get things "rolling," if you will, then our grades will face the repercussions.

LET'S GO!!

Beginning of the End.

Moving on......
1. Shell being added to frame design (includes wheels, solar panels, etc.)
2. Awaiting conduit for new "mock" frame.

WRAP UP

1. Welding practice complete.

2. Kickstarter video line practice started.  

3. Frame is COMPLETE.
