A new semester began last week and the EcoCar2 Team is still putting together their redesigned car.
They removed the original engine and replaced it with another one from the Chevy stable of engines and they are now installing the batteries that will be running the car.
There is still much work to do, but it is coming along. Remember, this is year 2 of the competition. The car will be competing on the Yuma Proving Grounds a year from May.
My son has this photo, up on his Facebook page. It is him in the back seat of the car, working on the electrical system. Look at the goggles and heavy gloves! I am glad to see they teach safety to these kids. :-)
More to come, as the competition continues.
Good stuff! Can't believe I wont know what I will be doing in 114 days.
