VR3Chassis manufacturingSolid Call, waiting on CAD
  • Finally got through to Don.
  • VR3 typically handles FSAE and BAHA, but is more then happen to work with Solar Car
  • Projected cost of material, cuts and bends is ~3000 for baha so I'm expecting ~5000 (unsure if sponsored or discounted cost)
  • Capable of welding too, but would involve a more serious discussion
    (i.e. we chip in money)
  • Goals: To source, cut and weld chassis
  • Next Steps: Wait for a full CAD of chassis and send ~Early-Mid March
  • Previous Sponsorship: Roll cage + other
