January 27, 2010

Hello World,

It's time for an update on the First Year Powerdrive team at Bellevue East Senoir High School.

Today involves the work of Kyle in his attempt to make one of our helmets more presentable (getting rid of the numerous scratches from getting dropped on the floor from the shelf that holds it)

Also for today is Ben, Sean, and Kelen's work on the rollcage to finishing construction of the front half of the body/frame work of the car.

And Kyle is still sanding away at the helmet.

This is Sean in our test helmet. He was getting fitted for the car because our main driver was out and they are roughly the same size. This was before he got in the car to test the size of the roll cage.

More work is being done on the car body to make it work into the principles of aerodynamics, friction, and to make it just look totally awesome.

And Kyle is still sanding away.

The car has come along way from once being an idea to being the half constructed skeleton it is now.

Obviously a lot more has to be done to make it race worthy.

Our plans for many of the various parts of the car are in their final stages.
These involve the steering, electrical, gear ratios, rear development, and other parts.

Another coat of fiberglass is being added to the body mold to make it stronger. There are likely more coats to follow.

And Kyle is still sanding away.

Well that is all for today.
-Sean and Kay!
