We did hit a bit of a snag with two of our motors going out of commission. During track day, one of the motors crapped out and we replaced the third motor hall sensors before putting that motor back on the car. Unfortunately, that died too so we're down to one motor. Motors are pretty critical for comp. So that has to be done asap.

I know midterms are happening and there will be fewer people around, but if you have a break or something please try to complete the listed tasks. I will be absent on the 14th and 15th but will be back for the rest of the time leading up to competition. Let me know if you have any questions.
