While design is fun, there is nothing like actually making something yourself. A ton of work has gone into the design of these uprights and finally we are ready to send them out for coating.

In House Fabrication
The summer has officially kicked off.
After an unexpected failure of our CNCs spindle bearing, and a very busy week repairing it the team has finished fabing up the test piece for our uprights. Now we are left to clean up the bugs in our program and machine the remaining pieces.
We are all very excited here for the rush to race season. Updates will be coming more frequent than ever leading into the early fall so check back soon.

Got Fuses?
An electric car with over 2.4 Megawatts of power needs a few fuses... well actually A LOT of fuses and relays. Cooper Bussmann has kindly donated three of their largest power distribution modules to the team, and we will be using all of them. A big thanks to Cooper Bussmann!
Fun Fact: The combination of these modules gives the VBB3 the capability of carrying 30 relays and 120 fuses.
