Wrap Up on 9/5

Overall this week, a lot was accomplished in the classroom, especially in  terms of cleaning. At the end of the week, the room was virtually spotless, even all of the cobwebs in the corners! At the event we need to speak to all of the dignitaries as well as drive the solar car and solar go-kart. This was a great reason to fix both of these cars to a running condition.

On SK3 we fixed a few thing a couple of things such as:

  • Rewire batteries in series and put them back in the car
  • Remove the Large clump of accessories and related wires that were a mess
  • Put in a new steering tie bar that broke during the Texas race
On the Solar Go- Kart, things were a bit simpler but we still had to fix:
  • Put in the batteries
  • Rewire the batteries in series and parallel
  • Strap down the batteries to the car
  • Wire in the solar charging system
    • Unfortunately this was not completed due to a missing switch and switch mount
