PVC mock-up Frame

The frame group got together and made this mock-up frame out of pvc, so that we could place it into the carbon fiber body and determine if the frame design would be correct.Before we made the pvc mock-up we taped out the outline onto the floor. We had to do this because of the complex geometry of the carbon fiber body.

Final Full Frame Design

This is the full frame assembly with many of our other components like the motor mount, seat, and suspension. The picture shown is a screenshot of the inventor file we have made so that we can get as precise as possible before we actually have this made. We have done this so that when we do have to make adjustments they will be minor and there will not be as many as if we were to have done this without this software.

Brake Rotor update

We have been able to go and get a template cut at a local laser cutting shop. The picture shown is the template, cut out of paper so that we could line it up to the bolt pattern on the hub. We had to make some slight changes to the design so that the laser cutting shop could cut the design out for us.
