We have started drawing up our original frame on Solid Works. Adjustments and modifications will be made to accommodate for the different parts we've added.

Mounted controllers

Looks like the motor controller and charge controller are finally in place for sk2. Just mounted the engine and cooling system this week. Also almost done with the Indiegogo page and should be making a kickstarter page next week.

Earning and Burning

Today I'm blogging because of my absence Monday to speak of our goals for this week's progress. So I owe most of my thanks to Camilo for taking charge of this finance team and setting up a good star for us. Setting up a Kickstarter online and applying for multiple grants has been a step in the right direction so this week we plan to expand what we've done so far. Just getting the word out about our kickstarter as well as making new donation pages online so more people can hear about Solar knight 2 and what we're all about. More grant options couldn't hurt either, so by the end of this week I look towards opening 2 other similar pages to kickstarter and apply for at least 3 grants from each of us.

Team effort

Oh yeah, and Jason and Emily took 20 minutes to choose a background image for their blog...........*cough*Slackers*cough

From day 1

Blogs up, positions are filled, putting Camilo and I at finance. Giving us our part to this team project in rebuilding the infamous sk2. Electricians, designers, and mechanics all will play a part this year towards the reappearance of Solar Knight 2. So far we have looked into a few grants online and talked over some fundraising ideas to raise some funds to start off with. "Money doesn't grow on trees!""Yeah it does, money is paper dude."
