Extreme low levels of morale ...

Allowed myself to maintain a low morale for almost the entire day today. Looks like my battle against the red tape is not going smoothly with yet another problem of obtaining signatures for approval of buying in critical components. This meant that the timeline for the solar car project is once again pushed back. When i broke the news to the team yesterday, they were not surprised as it has been the case for the pass few months, but even John nodded and .. well, he got used to it too. =P

After having low morale for the day, it finally reached the time when i have to snap out of it, thus got down to informing the team of what we will do tomorrow... which is like what we do everyday.... try to take over the world!! =D



Today they (John and YX) got pretty bored and with their current skills with SolidWorks, they created the world's first F1 racing capable solar car ..



As for the carbon fibre mold, we have completed construction, followed by bonding of the laminated plywood to the mold as seen in the pictures below, using Kangaroo glue. Only managed to take some pictures of them putting weights on the plywood to maximise bonding. Didnt realised i was in some pictures too. =)



After bonding the laminated plywood on the jig, we proceeded to wax the entire surface with mold release. Unfortuately, we were all to busy waxing so only yong xi managed to take 2 shots of our supergal, codename 'iwax'. =P
