Jaret welded stuff for the pot box and petal the kart is almost done 

On This solar car Kirsten's team is collaborating to find a place to put the batteries in SK2  the are having a hard time mounting 6 batteries in a place that balances out the kart it's officially a difficult task because weight  distribution is a big factor in karts
