Heres an update that is long overdue but we have been incredibly busy with prepping the body and filling holes and removing brackets we don't need and what not. This is what we've been doing the past few weeks:

Edwin should be putting up a video soon of our progress. Next we need to reassemble and clean up the motor and do our wire tuck. Stay tuned for more updates. We leave for competition on the Oct. 7.

I just have to point out that in vid part 2 of paint, we started working at 9:30AM... 18hrs straight! Minus pizza time at lunch, haha. It was a loooong weekend and I for one am still recovering, BUT we have too much to do, and only 14 days to do it in. Sooo we pretty much won't be sleeping any time soon.
