As we head into Week 5, our basic planning will be implemented into practical construction of at least a prototype of the actual vehicle. Naturally, it is highly unlikely that our initial design will be our final, but we must have something tangible to test out first. Besides the physical side, basic modeling of our own solar panel, motor, and chassis will be done soon as well. Once these models are complete, we can utilize them and the equations given to us by Dr. Scoles to maximize our vehicle's performance. Below are two views of a very basic chassis design created with Pro/ENGINEER.
