• Picked up molds from Janacki
• Prepped mold by sanding and spraying with Durateck
• Molded our best hub yet!
• Worked on molding our carbon fiber frame, both port & starboard sides

We are in a good position for assembling the completed beta trike!

Today we had a field trip to the Boeing Plant in Everett!  Engineer Scott Shields arranged for us to have a VIP tour, which put us right down on the work floor.  It is the largest building by volume in the world!  To give you an idea of how large, you could fit an entire Disneyland and still have 12 acres left over!  It was like a whole city in that building.  They even had their own crosswalks, coffee shops, bank, massage place, and pigeons.  Amazing, I know.  It was such a great tour, we've learned to much. We even found out that the 787 is being built out of carbon fiber, just like our trike.

This last week it was Spring Vacation for our school.  We all came back to school to work on the trike.  What's more impressive is all the hours that we have put in together as a team.  A total of 136 hours this break.  Woah. If this isn't team commitment then I don't know what is.  And you would think that we as students would hate to give up our spring break.  To tell you the truth it was a tad disappointing.  However, as soon as we realized that we would be spending more time as a team, it was all worth it.  We all get along so well.  I mean we do have our ups and downs but in the end we all figure things out.  People on our team actually consider each other as family and I couldn't agree with them more.  Look at me just rambling right now.  I could talk all day if I could.  I was just going to do a quick update for our hours.  So yeah.  136 hours.  That's impressive if you ask me.

Today Jake Warren filmed our inventeam's 5 minute presentation for Lemelson/MIT.  We all had certain parts to say that would tie into a great presentation video.  A huge thanks to Jake for filming us and having the patience.  Can't wait to see how it all works out!

• Glued the high density foam and brought it to Janicki Industries for them to CNC
• Worked on the steering system for the trike
• Infused the trike handles
• Designed our business cards for EurekaFest
• We are finishing up the last of our fundraising
• On Saturday, Jake will come and film our 5 minute presentation for Lemelson/MIT

Today, Gary Graham came to visit us and gave us input for our own trike invention.  We would all like to say thanks to Gary for putting in the time to come see our invention and being so friendly and open to questions.  

Starting today, it is officially spring break at our school.  We will continue working on the trike this week.  Currently, we are working on the Beta version for our trike.
