Early Spring 2014 semester

The team had hopes of attending an Arena Racing race for the purpose of confirming certain measurements of the roll cage, but that never happened. We did clean up our model quite a bit. Here is the finished original model:

It looks great! The next part was the most challenging because it took multiple stress tests and calculations to ensure the structure would not fail, and above all, that the driver would be safe.

We spent many meetings taking out bars, conducting stress analysis, putting bars back in, conducting more stress analysis, and so on.

We really need to make sure that not only are we maintaining the same level of safety, but that we are decreasing the cost of the car to actually make the changes worthwhile.
