Frame Panels Complete

After several hours in school this week, we have completed manufacturing two panels for our vehicle's frame. It has been temporarily assembled with extruded aluminium supports however we will bend the parts of the structure to allow the motors to be mounted before completing the frame more permanently. Additionally, we require the pressure vessel end caps to be completed before fixing the vessel vertically in the centre of the frame.

Working on the control box this week has also been productive as we now have a piano hinge fitted to the box, ready to mount our control panel. We have been working on different designs for our large control panel, covering the entire opening in our box. Our most recent design is now complete in CAD and ready to be manufactured in-house using our laser-cutter upon our return to school on Tuesday (23/08).
