Team "BIG ONES" pics from the crit, this buggy is based on short wheel base min folding and as light as possible. tell us what you think?
The class has been split into 3 teams, and each team is making 1/4 scale models complete with drivers and working systems. below are some quick pics of how the teams are pulling together and what they are making.
After going down to NASA last year and placing 3rd, we returned the next year with 3 students from the original team still in the dept who were seniors. The pictures below are from when we started to work on the buggy again. as you can see in the process we found some broken parts and started working on ways to make it better.
Late nights have become frequent now. All of our hard work from the semester is becoming a reality now with all of our parts almost completely finished and put together.
With only two days to go, we are finishing the final pieces and in assembly mode. Everything is on schedule and we are getting excited to unveil the vehicle at our critique on Wednesday!
