January Monthly Reports

    The Power Drive team has been working hard for our upcoming season. We will be working the basketball concession stand on January 29th, 30th, and February 11th, and 12th.  We are looking forward to putting on a good concession stand, and we will be serving super nachos, pork sandwiches, and pizza. We are open for suggestions (No shrimp cocktail).  
    We are working hard on the documentation and have assigned specific parts to each of the four of us totally dedicated to documentation. Last year’s video will be tough to beat, but we are working extra hard. We have a lot of new and improved ideas to keep us busy.
    The S car chassis is just about completed, and we hope to have it done by the end of the month. The A car has not been getting a lot of attention, but we are working on steering changes, new wheel covers, and still working on the possibility of running fenders on bigger tracks for the A car. Another change is repositioning the driver for a better center of balance. The team has also been working on an E car. The E car has been totally torn down to its chassis. The chassis has been updated, and all the steering hard points have been torn off and re-welded to try to improve the steering geometry. Over the next couple months the team has a lot of work to complete, including battery testing, finishing the S car, changes to the A car and documentation.
