used the program google sketchup to create 3 D body

Week 11

This week A-team finished building their frame, the frame is now fully built and the body team has started putting the body together. The body also ordered some other material that they will need to complete the body design. We finished a prototype of the body in an attempt to make the car more aerodynamic to help achieve better fuel efficiency and reduce stress on the engine. Steering communicated with Trek about donations of wheels, tires, brakes and other things that they need.

This week team Bearclaw completed the sponsor binder for both teams and delivered it to a sponsor, hopefully we will get some more people interested in donating. The picture pages got done this week and now are in the binder, this will show everybody how hard everybody is working. Team Bearclaw’s frame has encountered a couple of issues along the way. But with some team determination and sincere effort they will most certainly pull through.
