This weekend the team continued to make progress on fabricating the chassis. The front A-frames were welded onto the box frames, and attached some of the support bars. In addition, the tabs for mounting the wheel axles were welded on as well. The frame is now in three large sub-components: the bottom box/A-frame, the top box/A-frame and the back cage. Once all of the hardware for mounting the motors has been machined and attached, we will be ready to finish welding everything together.

We also tested the strength of the chassis out by riding it around on the rear wheels, and are pleased to say that not only did it hold up without any problems, but it is also quite well balanced.

We hope to have the chassis completed by the end of the week.
