This past week we sent team members Tyler Erikson, Danny Keaton, Eli White and Chris Manning to Mississippi State University for the regional safety technical inspection. We were joined at inspection by teams from Mississippi State, Embry-Riddle, North Carolina State and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
We received credit for completing the majority of the organizer’s checklist for the inspection. Overall, we were successful and were complemented on various novel and innovative items on the car. Out of the fifteen schools in the competition we are alone of the first teams to close our contactors. However, the organizer’s inspection team did point out a lot of things we need to fix before competition in May.
We have a lot of work to get done before competition like integrating our half shafts and getting the engine to run. After we integrate all of these components we need to test and adjust the control code to make sure everything works. We’ll be working hard to complete all necessary tasks before our send-off event on May 1, 2013.
