Budget/Schedule
Fall Term: The main focus was to work on the project proposal and continue to update it on a daily basis, or whenever updates are needed. The analyses for all the reaming subjects listed below in the Gnatt chart will also be continued to be worked on. So far, all component parts have been purchased and analysis a-d have been completed. In total, it is estimated that around 60 hours have been put into this project. This is to ensure that the vehicle is fully assembled, and previously tested to be ready to race in the spring. The total cost of the drivetrain components is about $300.
Winter Term: The main focus during winter term was to complete the manufacturing of the entire vehicle, which was successfully completed. The RC car is fully functional.
