Anisha and Mo April 25th

At The Tech Shop





We made it to the Tech Shop tonight and things went fairly well. Some minor modifications were made. We replaced the trashbag becasue it got really beat up. We replaced the strings that attached the parachute to the device. It was decided to sew down a side of the velcro that was coming loose. On the underside of the device we decided to try and tape down the wires that were the primary defense against the wheels popping off. In doing so, we created a skid plate because we were afraid that the wires might stick out too much and catch on the bottom of the ramp and drag on the carpet, hindering and handicapping the process. The vehicle actually did not run at the first trial last weekend because the motor came out of the vehicle. That has been fixed. Right now the issue is getting the journals done.
