IRE WIKISPEED team
members visited the main WIKISPEED shop in Seattle last week. Team members Adam
Geisler, Nate Quinn, Matt Sjostrand, and Dan Marshall, along with mentors Jim
Boyd and Dan Ewert learned firsthand from volunteers at WIKI headquarters. The
group came back with information that will help us on the design and building
of our car. We looked at different components of the car including the steering
and suspension so that we know how to set it up with our car. The IRE team
helped the volunteers at the WIKI shop with the layup of the interior module of
the car that consisted of fiberglass, fiberglass mat, a honeycomb board for
support, and carbon fiber. Below is part of the group taking the interior
module out of the mold.The IRE WIKI team currently has a rolling chassis in the new shop and bought a
wrecked Honda Civic for the motor and was finished being torn down earlier this
week.
