Setting Better Solar Goals

This week we were not able to finish mounting the charge and motor controller.  Our progress is slow so on Wednesday we decided as a group that it is important that we all focus on being more efficient.  Everyone is to have some sort of job everyday that they can work on and we will begin to set more concrete weekly goals.  Our first new goal is to get SK2 rolling by the end of next week.

In other news, we took off the wheels on SK2 so that we can remove the inner tubes from them.  The SK2 will be able to go faster without them, and they are not essential to SK2's operation.

At the end of the week we had a friendly competition! We split up into three groups and tried to see which group could build a set of rolling shelves the fastest.  The winner is still debatable at this point so I would say Matt, PJ, and Jason won.
