2024 -2026 Timeline and Dependency Charts Planning

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

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

Onboarding/Training

Recruitment

  • Training: 10/12/24

  • Preliminary Designs: 11/9/24

  • Final Designs Ideally: Before we leave for winter break

  • Final Designs FINAL: 2/15/25

  • Manufacturing Begins: 2/22/25

  • Manufacturing Finished: Before start of winter break of 2025

  • Integration starts depending on other systems

Trackwidth decided

Volumetric bounding box decided (New Car)

Frame/Dynamics - where battery can go, how much space there is

  • Training Finished - 10/12/24

  • Day Break Battery Architecure Finalized - Mid October

  • Day Break Enclosure design finalized (mounting, cooling) - Before Winter break

  • Day Break Battery Manufactured - End of Feb/Early March

  • New Battery Architecture + any new features Finalized - before winter break

  • New Battery Enclosure (with mounting and cooling) designed - End of March

  • New Car battery manufactured - Nov 25

  • New Car Battery/Electrical Testing - Dec 25 - Mar 26

  • New Car Top Level Layout Finalized - Mid October

New Battery finished/manufacture (New Car)

Frame

New Cooling Finished (New Car)

Frame, Aeroshell, Battery - duct routing, exhaust/inlet placement

Possibly: Ergo, Dynamics, and Enclosures placements (in case of any interferences)

High level placement of enclosures/electrical hardware (New Car)

Electrical
Frame - locate hardware + sensors on car

Aeroshell - lights
Ergo - brake and accel

Battery Pack Module/Segment interfacing hardware/parts (Day Break)

Power Systems - new/old cells

BPS - how modules will be organized into segments

Battery Box manufactured (Day Break)

 

Driver cooling + motor controller design complete
