Blog Week 3 End

At the end of this 3rd week the group has put their minds together and was able to produce a proto-type sketch of the Ballista. Now that the sketch has been drawn up and measured we will be starting to measure and cut the real wood to make our dreams turn to reality.

Blog Week 3

At the start of this 3rd week our focus has been adjusted from the solar go-cart which is now completed, to the design and execution of the wooden Ballista. When completed we are hoping to be able to fire a baseball 300ft plus.

Blog Week 2 End

With Dylan's help we finished the Go-Kart, and are loading SK3 onto a trailer for transport to FAU to be displayed during the Formula-E race we will be competing in. We hope to do well, and it looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Blog Week 2

Dylan is cutting out the four sides of the battery box, and we expect it to be done by Wednesday. The paint job is looking awesome, and we hope to get the Go-Kart running by Friday.
