Would anyone be interested in a class on how to design a silly electric vehicle? It would cover the different options there are for motors, motor controllers, and batteries. It would also cover some basic system design (motor and wiring sizing).
It would probably be an hour or so, lots of opportunities to have q&a and delve into specific projects.
I'm not sure when I would have it, just want to gauge interest first. It is possible that this could just be the subject of one of the upcoming electronics nights.

Glad you are excited about the class. I was planning on seeing if you would be willing to record the class.

You are more than welcome to hijack Arduino/Microcontroller/Electronics/Robot night if you'd like.

Here is a doodle poll. I'll see when people think is best and then actually schedule the class.

I've gotten 5 responses with 4 votes for the 24th from 1-3 so that is when the class will be. I guess now I'll have to actually get working on slides.

Is this a members-only type of thing, or can non-members attend?

I'm fine with non members attending. My primary goal is to give enough detail and terminology so that someone could piece together a thing. It is all going to be lecture / discussion so the more the merrier.

Great! I'll definitely try to be there. I have been collecting various random batteries, motors, etc. in the hopes of one day putting together a junkyard Go Kart. This sounds like a great discussion.

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. Is there any chance you or someone else can video tape it? I'd still really like to see it.
Thanks!

I was planning on convincing someone to record it. I'm not sure what camera or tripod options we have but we will figure it out.

I have a camera that might work. It's a still camera but it can shoot video. I also have a tripod.
Unrelated note, thanks to the people who cleaned the space! I was down there Thursday night to tidy up but realized the security system wasn't working right and ended up spending time fixing that instead of cleaning up.

Here are the slides from the class. They aren't very clean but they are something.

I'm re-rendering the video, downsized to 1280x720. The audio in the first part isn't great, was better when we ran the gopro outside of the case. You can't read the slides at all, so we'll probably want to link to the slide deck in the video.
