Mark Holtz (Holtz Racing Products) is assisting us with our a-arms made of chromoly steel which our inventeam will weld into finished parts.
We're also looking forward to Justin from MIT coming to see us this Wednesday. Can't wait!
Today our InvenTeam hosted an open house for the Greater Puget Sound MIT Alumni Association as well as other guests. Our parents were also invited. The fact that our parents were invited was really special because we finally got to show them what we were spending our time on. The look on their faces as we did our presentation was very heartwarming.
This week we have:
- Constructed the seat out of carbon fiber
- Mounted the seat bracket and support
- Currently developing the cable steering
- Connecting the ackerman steering system
Today the inventeam took a tour of Alcoa/Intalco in Ferndale. Joining us on the tour was the Whatcom County council members. The tour was very informative and we had the opportunity to see and follow the entire process of aluminum production.
We were also given the opportunity to give our presentation.
I can't explain the excitement that our whole inventeam faced today. We finished up on our prototype and the trike actually rolled! It feels so good to finally get something to work after months and months of preparation.

- I loved documenting this entire experience of the Lynden InvenTeam. It was one crazy experience and I'm glad I had the opportunity to record each and almost every single one of our memorable moments!
