Car Starting to Come Together.

As we pass the midpoint of the semester we are starting to see much more implementation in our car. Despite our space limitations we're mocking up and working on adding steering to our chassis. The shell team has the model shell almost completed and our electrical team is working with Suniva to get 200 cells for our vehicle. With that being said we would like to give special mention to our mechanical lead Dan Sallen. Dan, featured below in the fully built chassis, will be leaving MTU after this semester and will be going in to the work force as an ME. Dan has been the driving force in our mechanical group and will be missed greatly!

Below is our shell team getting underway with the final plug, and grabbing the carbon fiber needed to make the final shell. The shell team has also put together a new layout plan for the solar cells which should maximize our potential power.

Finally the electrical team is working with Suniva solar to get 200 cells for the solar car, we would like to thank Suniva for their time. We haven't reached a full agreement with Suniva but are hoping to get something finalized soon. I would also like to take a moment to mention Joe Rushing, another member that will be leaving this semester. Joe has been crucial to the electrical design and has proven to be a valuable component in our power analysis.
