Busy finishing Cougar Cruiser 2. Starting the planning for Cougar Cruiser 9000

Quad activities postponed to NEXT week.

We rewired the pedals on the solar car last night. However,… there is a
100Amp circuit breaker and a 200Amp fuse on the main power line. The circuit
breaker was broken a few months back… and it appears the fuse was broken as
well. I’ll need to replace one/both of them BEFORE we can drive the car.

I’ll try to find replacements this morning. We can go ahead and have this
week’s meeting to focus on a calendar and list of deadlines, as well as project
goals and their deadlines.

We’ll try to get the car running THIS week, and focus on recruitment NEXT week.
Thanks for your patience and help!

New Road!!!

Saturday I went to the heating plant and found workers putting in a new road for us!!! I took some pics (see the “photos” page). Then, on Monday I took more pics of the unfinished road. (I assume it’s unfinished… although I’m NOT a road expert). Thanks to Veronica (dean’s office) for your help and support of the Solar Car Club!!!
