Space frame vs composite frame discussion and brainstorm
- Use Metal Space Frame or Composite Frame to guide discussion
What are the other big big system design decisions we need to address over the next month?
Quick update on team stuff
Discuss atlasssian framework

Time	Item	Who	Notes
15 mins	Defining monocoque, unibody, space frame	all	Monocoque only has shell for structure Unibody has a frame that attaches to a shell Space frame is only frame, shell is redundant structurally
9:20-9:46	pros and cons of unibody and space frame		Manufacturability - space frame is better. focus was on repair ability Sponsor- roll cage sponsor is potential. Textreme helped for composites but we would need much more FEA - Unibody is hard to track stress points as opposed to space frame. As well composites are harder to be accurate with to a CAD model. As well composites are very brittle. Weight - composites are lighter ideally, but space frame is more reliable (WSC is how efficient, not how far)
9:25	welding	all	consider getting welding station lauren knows people who may be able to give lessons
9:47	Decision	all	space frame
