Work schedule for the holidays

[Nate Notta]

Everyone rushing to meet a milestone before the holidays?
Our humble goal is to get the entire chassis tacked together.
Will everyone else be working up to and including Christmas eve?

Just spent 14 hours in the shop yesterday with 3 other people, making fixtures for the diff, stock for CNC parts, and a bunch of small CNC lathe parts. Looks like Drivetrain group will be done before anybody else shows up in the shop... http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

My team is on the 2 year plan (2006 FSAE). So where should we be?

I would suggest you guys have a working car and two years of testing time. In light of the fact that I guess you guys don't have that, I plan of action and schedule to build your car along with a design for the main portions of the car (chassis, suspension, drivetrain, engine) should be done. If your ahead of yourselves you could be starting construction already.

Good luck on your two year car.

We are about a month behind schedule. But, as usual, I'm tryin to catch us back up.

Over break, I finished our mock-up, FEA'd some suspension mounts, and built our Jig.

Today we start our frame, and hope to have it complete before our Jan 14th deadline. I plan on having it done in 3 days.

It took a few other guys and myself about 2 full weeks to fully finish the frame. Probably the hardest part was setting everything in place and making sure it matched up to what the "model" said to be.

If you can get build a frame in 3 days my hat goes off to you.

hrm. well then. it's bad if we don't really have a team yet and we're still aiming for 2006, right? i think we''ll get members together within two months, and be ready to start throwing out ideas and designing in 4, and then build like all hell spring quarter. heh. the more i think about that, the less feasible it sounds.
