This week, the team hit rolling chassis! Members of all disciplines pitched in to assemble the suspension corner assemblies and get them on the car. Through this process, the team learned what adjustments were needed for the car's suspension, including tab tweaks and bushing replacements. In addition, Aerodynamics finished curing all of the bodywork and is now deciding the paint job for NFR25.

 

The electrical side of the team also had a productive week, sending out multiple boards for production. The battery management team successfully brought up their hardware and sent communications between the BMS mainboard and daughterboards. Additionally, the car's brake light was tested and confirmed to be functioning properly. The rest of the electrical side will be working to integrate by our electrical integration deadline of March 8.
