Had a great day at St. Pat's Day parade in Morristown, NJ!
The Morristown event has been held since 1890, so it's huge and has a great history. My students have been working on a "parade buggy" for the last while. The idea was to have a "stand-off scale" replica of a 1902 Curved Dash Olds. Runs a 5.5 HP Techumseh with a lawn tractor trans/differential. This buggy has really been built as a "test bed" for alternate powertrains. We are hoping to add a bio-diesel and/or hybrid powertrain as time goes on.
We have just finished our FIRST Robot (it's in SC right now waiting for the regional event in Columbia), so we've been busy at County College of Morris for the last six months.
Me and lab coordinator in the staging area (with classy Port-A-Johns in background).
Doing skid-pad testing our little rhd roadster before adding finishing details.
