Week 8

Hi guys!
   
This week we got so much done.

I finished my first draft the chassis in Solidworks. However, I can't use this model because the dimensions are inaccurate and modifying it to the correct dimensions would be more complicated than making another one with the correct dimensions. I am having some issues with the new model and will need to find a new way to draw the model to make the model as precise and accurate as possible. I also recorded all the dimensions in a word document so I can better model the car when I'm not at ASU.

In addition to finishing the model, the I helped weigh the car and found out that with all the plating the car weighed about 316 lbs. We also changed gearbox and engine fluid. Then we finally got the car working and began some basic testing! Until we figured out one of the brakes was acting up and the front left rotor was completely bent!
