Notes from NorCal Training Nov 23 2019

• need to buy some torque wrench and drivers

• data center station 

  • Wifi in a box

  • data capture - sheets or excel - need to get to be experts in sheets formulas

  • So... you have 29Wh... but you could have a system that is directly powered by the hydro - so you could have a low power telemetry that was not on your battery

  • match the stick capacity (weight)... not the same weight, but the same capacity

  • have a fuel / battery station display box to show all your race power.

  • make your LED information visible... maybe pull them up to the top outside of the car

  • optimize your pit time... make it easy to  change battery and sticks

  • use 3 wire transponder

  • paint the inside of the body

  • yarn to test air flow... maybe to check to see if hole slows

  • ask what Steve means about not having to have "blue box" on the car...

  • ask about the fact that the "blue box" will be producing 3600mA, bu it uses about 1000 just to run the fans and other stuff on the box.. is all that needed? could we get some of that power back?

  • dig into why the box generates .9v x16 cells is best case 14.4V... but they regulates to about 8.something... but there is some short circuit ... can we measure the 14.4 and can we see the on/off 

  • ask about the fuel cell

  • do you need the fan?

  • ducting to force air, fans, etc to  modify the fuel cells

  • telemetry

    • batt voltage, temp, 

    • cell voltage,  temp

    • lap time for each lap, but then data of Average lap, last 10, 

  • gyro for stabilization

  •
