Progress Update: Fixing the Car

The team is working quickly and efficiently to get the car fixed for good.

We have cleaned up the wiring in the electronics bay and covered the wires in the driver compartment. A couple of team members are looking at brakes.

Currently some members are going to the school to pick up a few tools, while others are at the shop working on putting locktite on parts of the car and organizing information.

The suspension is coming along; in fact, we discovered a weak weld near the shocks an hour ago when a team member ripped off the weld while trying to disconnect the shocks to realign them. This weld is relatively simple to repair, and fortunately we found the weakness now rather than later on during operation. Team members are continuing to fix it currently.
