This week all eyes were on the new chassie. Both the chassie and panels came back from being painted. The new golden chassie was weighed at an incredibly light 68 pounds, the lightest ever. The team tasked us with making sure that the trailer was ready for competition, so we had to put panels into the floor of the trailer. The panels are used to hold the car and make sure that it doesn't move or get damaged when they are driving it to competition. The team also made the interns sweep up and mop up the shop as well as organizing all the tool chests and returning everything to its rightful place.
As the team continues to test the car's limits, they took it to a dry riverbed this week. Halfway through test-driving, the car's steering line was damaged as well as the rear wheel rotor. The rotor most likely blew out because there was a screw loose causing the whole wheel to break down.
