Yesterday I started with my team building the bike we designed. The work we did was to cut pieces of foam to start the mold for the areodynamic shell.
We started by tracing the shape onto the foam.
Cutting each piece out
Glue everything together
And start shaping and sanding the piece
And this is how far we have gotten so far.
I am not in any of the pics because I was the photographer of the day. Our goal is to have the bike completed by Thanksgiving. That is a pretty fast schedule, but we do have to have it done by the end of the semester. And once it's build, we hope to get into the ASME national competition for Human Powered Vehicles. If that does not happen, we at least will beat the other team.
Also Jessica has started a new blog for her art with one of her classes. If you would like to look, go to: http://jessicadamstendt.blogspot.com/
Way to go. Are you going to be the first to test it out?
ReplyDeleteYeah, something new on your blog. I think you should leave the bike purple.
