Progress Report

We have gotten information from a Riders employee and have begun the conversion process.

Right now, we will be taking apart an electric car to see how it works, then we will convert our RC to electricity.

December 4th Update

We need to start working on converting the RC to electric power.

Have spent today and last meeting researching prices. Must remember to keep budget below 1200$.

So far we are considering:

Polyethylene foam

Trinity Motor

Duracell Batteries (Wrong kind!)

Will have to speak with someone in the local hobby shop about parts and prices; this should be done over the weekend.

Also, if we are going to make this thing float we will need to speak with some sort of Home Depot employee/physics expert and figure out how much polyethylene foam it will take to make the RC float.

Guys, please create new posts with any additional information you get. If you need the log in information see me, Marcus, or Mr. Butka.
