Hi everyone,
Chris, I did not see the "out side parking brake" but I did see they wanted "E" Stops mounted at 4 or more points, (to be designated later...) although I do not see any problems in doing any of this. Time to review the rules again. I think we maybe should leave the cab on, if nothing more than to cut down on work, there should be a drivers compartment with a manual override. Doing this makes sense when you think about moving the truck around, (I don't want to PUSH it UP Hill to the starting line, or to get it unstuck ) it just makes life easier. As for the roof or the bed, Form Fallows Function, but it should look Quality ..... Nobody wants to Sponsor JUNK! As to high centering the Dutch had a military truck (called a DAFT if I remember right) that had 2 spair tires mounted in the center of the wheel base, on free wheeling axles. When you high center, you just roll off! If high centering becomes a problems maybe we could do something like this? Has anyone been following the DARPA forum ? We missed getting in on the magazine story, I tried, but we haven't got enough "weight" (names,sponsors,etc.-- we don't even have a team yet!) Chris made the right call in not publishing peoples names that have not given their approval or permission. Please take the time to e mail me with this permission and a short resume, When I get enough "weight" I will go after getting us registered And pursuing Sponsors Geo.
