Construction

Well we have been working fairly diligently this past week. Once we figured out how to start, we started to layout the steering components and front axles. Today we actually have started to weld, so construction has officially began. We have laid out the main steering parts but have not calculated where exactly they will be placed. Either way progress is being made so we are happy. Also we are still looking for sponsors, so if you know of anyone that would like to be one please contact jmengel@kv.k12.in.us, thank you.

Disassembly

As of this week the team has started the steps of building. We have drawn up a few sketches and ideas of what we are trying to accomplish. We also have started disassembling last years car in order to improve from it. Our main idea is to use the old frame bar from the old car and build up from there.
New ideas for this year include: rear-wheel steering, front-wheel drive, and mainly Lexan, which is a clear and lightweight plastic coating. We are hoping to have great success with this new layout, so wish us luck!
