The Code Red "Perspectus" #10

The Code Red “Perspectus”


This week...
Fun
Crazy
Awesome
Tiring

That basically sums it up. This week has been one of the most productive weeks we have had so far. The frame is just about together and by tomorrow we -hopefully- will have the treads on, and be very close to done. On the results of the kicker... It is going to be including a somewhat complicated design with 2 pistons to move it outwards, and kick the ball. Although I did not completely agree with this design since it is a lot more complicated (which means things can go wrong), I am fine as long as we can make it well. As far as I can see we should be able to. This has been a long week, and it is only going to get more tiring... Starting  this week  we will most likely be staying later, coming earlier and working harder.

Today the wheels for the frame arrived. Tomorrow we will be able to begin putting together the drive train, and hopefully be able to start testing by next week! The drive system also had the underside wheels for driving on the bumps added today!

All in all, not too far to go, but we are going to be pulling some late nights for sure! Good luck to everyone on the Student Driver Test!
