Purpose: develop a rough idea of a timeline for your system, including major goals, their dependencies, and when you want to accomplish them by

Aeroshell

Major Goals

Dependencies

Rough Timeline

Design shell

Fergo, what does the frame look like

Dynamics, how much space will wheels take/ turning radius etc, exposed suspension

Array - array size/config

  • Decide what the car will look like(3/4 wheel)

  • Design car in Solidworks: 12/14/24

  • Begin work on one half of car: 1/11/25

  • Finish that half: 5/3/25

  • Begin work on second half: 5/17/24

  • Finish full composite shell: 12/13/25

  • Completely finalized aeroshell: spring break '26
