We are very grateful to be supported by the Tonbridge Rotary club
The trolley has been completed and has been used for the first ever time. The idea is a success: it managed to support the old greenpower car's weight as well as the prototype scale cardboard model on top. We are strengthening it and adjusting it so that it is sturdier.
Addition areas or spaces may be added or separated in the trolley for storing spare parts, such as the roll bars, tool box and other parts. This is especially necessary, considering the size and weight of these extra parts in the designing and creation of the new and old car. Our current metal bars are easily adaptable to add storage containers and shelves onto the trolley.
We have been making some great progress here, laser cutting wheels from cardboard for our scale model. This is a quick and easy way to create an accurate model which can be used for planning.
