Budget | Please make revisions by tomorrow night not enough links and justifications review sid’s comments and make revisions

Design Duration | Designs for Daybreak were rushed not enough research and validation was done timelines were missed and design was constrained to ab a semester bad/uninformed decisions were made
We cannot repeat the same methodology for the new car design season cannot be condensed into one semester - Gerard wants to extend design perhaps into march take time to do proper research and validation to inform our decisions and avoid poor designs Cesar’s proposal to condense aeroshell manufacturing into 3 stages no need to rush molds proposal to send the top shell mold first that is only affected by the array when height is determined move onto canopy bottom shell ready → can start sending bottom shell out to be manufactured avoids compromising designs and letting the molds sit around 2 months to get foam in and 4 months to waterjet larger top shell this year and smaller bottom shell - ideas for connection still being developed - sizes are not dependent because this time to top shell will be on top of the bottom shell
Onboarding should allow members to develop a strong foundation likely will have one more meeting about onboarding before freshies arrive new members will work on Daybreak - almost exclusively we should explain the car’s issues, but also inform them what good designs look like so they have a basis from which to reference go though their designs and walk them through pros and cons, allowing them to revise afterwards iteratively until a satisfactory design is achieved goal is to establish a good foundation of design intent and experience
PDR / CDR will likely be moved later

Division/System Requirements | High Level Flowchart: ---> 2024-2026 Requirements Sheet |
Ideas | 3 vs. 4 wheel Composite Frame have research done by saturday to gerard likely will have presentation at workday assignments: Aeroshell wheel cover profile and attachment airfoil for suspension components drag force Look at good attachment mechanisms for frame to shell
Fergo designing chassis for rear trailing arm suspension - Josh figuring out brakeline routing in 3 wheel optimize CG location (roll cage, ballast position, driver position - leaning back?) - Kenta
Dynamics implementation of swing arm suspension for rear wheel - Kayla shocks suspension travel pullrod v pushrod THREE WHEEL BULLSHIT - Kayla 3 wheel steering characteristics for 3 wheel (Ackermann vs. Anti-Ackermann), correcting understeer in 3 wheel - evan unsprung - three wheel will increase the loads of the assemblies so they need to be lighter weight, rear unsprung changes - sami manufacturing related yapping - maybe whatever changes that we want to implement this year that has some relevance to our design intent - harshit
