Spring 09

It has been a while since I last wrote something here... at this year's competition we did very well.  Our top speed this year was 35+ mph, hit by Joe S.

Unfortunately, there was an issue with the Endurance course and the endurence event was turned into a Double Elimination - Drag Race Bracket.  As much fun as this was, the Endurance Event was what we were prepared for.

All in all, we had an excelent weekend.  Thanks to everyone who went to the event!

Well… it’s been a while since my last update, so here’s the scoop…

Over the course of the past month or so we have gone through a lot of changes with the vehicle.  From reconstructing the rear axle, to cutting 18 inches off the rear end of the vehicle and creating the dome cover/roll bar, a lot of work has been done.  With all the excitement we are ready for this year’s competition.

On Friday, 27 February 2009 we made some minor adjustments to the three wheeled we've been working on.

Dr. Sianez, Tom, Ben, and I took the vehicle out behind Copernicus Hall, I stepped in and rode the vehicle back and forth making the turns perfectly. After several runs we went back into the lab, made adjustments, and fit the nosecone on.
