WELDING TIME!

With the preliminary car finished and running, welding is the new goal. For the next couple weeks Fernando and I will learn to be master welders. 

It shall be fun!

SWEET VICTORY!

Due to all the hard work the car was completely assembled early during 6th period. I (jeffrey) successfully captained the car around the horticulture building. It's flawless performance is paving a great path for the new car coming soon!

Wheels and stuff.....

This week we are planning on getting the steering components connected, and getting the chain connected. Once we get that connected we can get focused on making this closer to a race car.

Getting there...

This week ended with something we exactly didn't expect, we expected to have the tires on and rolling but because we lacked certain tools we could get the tires on the rims properly. We had a parent volunteer graciously volunteer to take them to a tire shop for us! So in the meantime while we waited we helped Electrical with mounting the main power switches and mounting the panel for the switches. We also helped Electrical by rewiring the batteries in a series sequence so the total voltage going to the motor controller is 48 Volts instead of 24.

Well look at that....

Major progress was made by Fernando last Friday.

Wheel. Inflated. Sprocket. Attached. Motor. Connected. 

Things are going great.
