The new semester has begun, and the team is already working hard. This past Sunday, the team laid a layer of carbon fiber into the array mold. This is the second layer of fabric on the part and soon we will add nomex honeycomb followed by several more layers of fiberglass. The plan is to have the final layers of fabric laid into the mold by the end of next week so we can begin to work on the reinforcing ribs and the cuts that will define the canopy section of the array.
The front end of the car is going to see several major fabrication projects. The first is the removal of several Plascore panels around the front suspension mounting area so that they can be replaced with new pieces to allow for a smooth installation of the new suspension system that some of the senior members are busy designing. The battery compartment is also going to see some improvements with a new ventilation system that will improve the amount of airflow to keep the battery pack within operating temperatures.
Bronco Pride,
