Step 1: Figure mounting planes/locations (highest priority)

  • reach out to ASC to see if only the driver needs to prop the roof and if we need the prop tube in the car

  • regulations page to keep on track with our design

  • more tubing needed in that area

  • solar array terminals (lower priority, but might shift everything)

  • type of tubing

  • propping location ( consideration )

Step 2: Figure out mount height/location (highest priority)

  • figure out where more tubing will go if mounting in currently free space

  • prop mount point on the chassis/aero

  • cough “Adan”

Step 3: Nodal Diagram / fitment

  • play around with the tilt angle and the four bar dimensions

  • will the linkages fit beside one another, etc…

  • compare to off the shelf parts

Step 4: Finalize and optimize

  • decide on whether OTS or new design

  • start looking into cost comparisons

  • come to a final decision on mount locations and other points
