This week, we broke up into sub-teams to do more research on specific areas of the bike. We had some awesome brainstorming sessions in smaller groups where all sorts of ideas were able to be shared. The three sub-teams were Safety, Drivetrain, and Frame. These three areas will be our major focuses during the design process to ensure we meet all ASME requirements, as well as building a super fast bike. A lot more brainstorming and ideation will be coming. Soon after that will be more detailed designs!

This week, Ed and Michael lead us in a break down of last year's bike, as well as a shop and office tour. We got to see where the bike is going to be built and where some of our supplies are located. Last year's bike was analyzed for key components, areas of improvement, and key safety features. We all got the opportunity to get an up close look at the different parts of the bike and think about what could be done better for this years design.
We're excited to be back and see so many new faces on the HPVC team! There's lots of work to be done this year with the design and build of a brand new bike! Last year's bike (pictured above) has seen two competitions and is ready to retire. During the first meeting, we were able to introduce everyone to the competition. It's going to be exciting to have so many people participating in brainstorming ideas, fabricating parts, and of course speeding around on a super fast bike!
