General

nodal on Matlab
Dynamics Syncs much more technical moving forward (after noodles ofc)
- Share calc progress, dependents between systems, yapping

Suspension

Design Matrix result: Leading Arm / Double Wishbone
Quick Summary:
- Macpherson: not possible for solar car due to chassis height requirements
- Leading Arm: knowledge gap with dynamic integration
- Double Wishbone: simplified and well documented integration
Objectives/Difference from MS15
- Bellcrank →
  - RSU - can happen, planar linkages
  - FSU - potential 3d linkages (hard math), goal for 2d for less pain
- Ackerman steering integration
- RSU mass optimization, redesign due to loading distribution
- Control arm bearing orientation
- material aluminum unless welding needed
- linkage research ongoing
- welded tabs
- Carbon fibre linkage arms?

Design Matrix results: Anti / Ackerman located above / inline with spindle
Quick Summary:
- Anti-ackerman: bad for performance
- Ackerman: better
- Pulley: only invest if leading arm
Slip angle done
Go above suspension
- Driver
- space efficient
- no u-joints maybe
Matt send dynamics course to steering
15.5 Linkage changes under investigation, steering arm redesigned on parking brake mounting (regs dependent)
- will know by next dynamic sync

Task allocation: Brake pedal selection (floor/ chassis mounted)
- OTS/ Custom
15.5 pedal changes: floor panel to metal, limit switch rearrangement, 2-feet operation (dependent on chassis width)
15.5 parking brake changes: handle?,
Estimate cost of 15.5 brake stuff by October 12
- caliper, line, fittings,
Funding request because looking to do caliper testing
