With Bose’s most recent contribution of $3000, we have almost reached our fundraising target of $15,000 for the 2011/2012 season. At this point, we have raised over $13,000, a significant portion of which will be used to kick-start new projects next season. In addition, we’re using our funding to send as many students as possible to competition in April.
A few things to look forward to next season:
- A completely new drive train which will potentially include custom, hardened gearing, a chain drive, a new differential, and a more optimized CVT system
- More advanced use of composites such as fiberglass and carbon fiber
- A long-range, wireless data collection and vehicle monitoring system with driver alerts
