So all members should:
read the regulations Regs related to Battery Box
research about everything batteries
types of batteries to consider (pouch cells, 18650s, ect.)
look at what similar SOV EVs use
maybe contact other teams and talk to them when we have a decent background
manufacturing processes, which would fit our needs/ are feasible
share useful readings with the team
divide team into groups and everyone come up with a design proposal for MS15
I’m thinking we should narrow down towards a few different paths and each group takes one path and tries to find the optimal way to move forward with it
for instance we get down to pouch cells or 18650s and one group proposes a design for each, how the long term plan for it would look, and the pros and cons
this is just rough thinking, the diverging point might not even be in type of cells I’m just not sure yet
one-on-ones, I’ll be announcing these soon so we can get to know each other and what your goals are for the team, and become a closer knit team :))
social! We should all meet up at some point and do something, any ideas?
finally I want to reiterate that this is a really great opportunity for this team to take on a new design challenge from the start and that if you put in the time you’ll come out with some really great experience and skills that will help you not only reach your industry goals, but also help build up midnight sun to race in 2023/2024 and by the end probably help younger students have the same experience
