FRIDAY 1/8/15

This week we really dug into the karts we got the Throttle cable on the gold & purple kart and mounted a (pot) box onto the kart pot sands for Potential-meter  & that controls how fast the car goes pretty much like a gas petal Peter is cutting strips of metal out to secure the brake lines on the go kart ... 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
