---|
Brakes | Adam | - No update, pedal mounting
|
Chassis | Adam | - Sent out to review, VR3
- Ready to resend, awaiting payment to be sorted out
- Sims past well, chassis is quite light
- Pushing to get tabs finished out
- Jig is underway, hopefully construction done by end of Sep
|
Doors | Devon | - Considerable progress, not done yet
- Part of the second VR3 order
|
Driver Controls | Adam | - Accelerator pedal does not hit the floor of the chassis
- Parts have been ordered in, parts are also on the shelf
- Large rack for asymmetric steering, linkages shift steering column
- Sleeve yields at point on the steering collar, and stops on a collar (4"-5")
- Tie rods will be a challenge, (Chassis interference on compression of suspension)
|
Suspension | Adam | - Remained stagnant, changes made to the structure of the control arms
- Use plates to seat the bearings
|
Aerobody | Adrian | - Shape defined. refined
- Shape is bumpy
- Optimizing for aesthetic and array optimization
- Alias is used as a surfacing program (typical in automotive design)
- Preliminary panelization was done, however the unrefined model caused issue
|
Battery Box | Adam | - Tested battery packs
- Pulled the right voltage and current, no issues
- did not use typical manufacturing methods though
- vibe testing was not done, an unresponsive professor does have a vibe test
