Daybreak: electrical components, suspension components
Less of this money will be going into integration (for this year), so use money to stock up on tooling, stock, and other supplies
machine tooling
dremels
etc.
Goal is to start manufacturing this year, so look through old budget and basically cut it in half
Whole point is to convince other teams that we need the money, so make sure to explain your reasoning and keep it as solid as possible
Scope of Modifications to Daybreak for FSGP 2025
| Plans | Timing |
---|
General | | |
Aeroshell | Find screws to fix canopy latch Look at more secure canopy hinge Fix shell to frame Install top-shell tilting mechanism Widen wheel cutouts *we made need more but I havent looked at the car, these 2 are the only ones I’ve heard tho | Latch Hinge Tilting Wheel cutouts |
Fergo/Structures | Frame Ergo Brakes Communications Minor fixes to seat Steering wheel Ballast Box
| Spot Welding Painting Driver shield Brake Lights Bleeding Brakes Communications Steering wheel Ballast Box |
Dynamics | Steering revision New Control Arms Longer to increase suspension travel before bottoming out shock Larger Spherical bearings at upright attachment Possibly rotate orientation of inboard rod-ends to align load pathing with structure of wishbones
New Shock Extenders
| Steering Revision part acquisition and attachment will take 2 weeks - can be done by new member design, material acquisition, and fabrication will take 2 weeks - can be done by new member Design and fabrication will take 1 week - can be done by new member
New Wishbones Design will likely take several weeks of iteration Intend for a new member to do this Machining will vary depending on approach Tubular wishbones may be shorter, solid wishbones will be longer If a CNC is needed, machining softjaws and running the CNC will extend the time needed Overall this is a full-semester project
New Shock Extenders
|
Emech | New battery enclosure (potentially slightly different BPS) try to keep cooling as similar as possible roughly same bounding box actually modular so modules can be swapped will require flat layups Finished battery pack by end of februrary
New enclosures Few minor changes to cooling for new battery/interfences with additions to the car Completely new wiring Combine controls hardware into dashboard Data qa
