Tonight our fuel cell team met with our Shell sponsor Buddy Bealer. Buddy got his first look at our vehicle and gave us some advice to prepare for a smooth weekend of competition in California. The wiring of our vehicle is now 100% complete. Our throttle issue has been completely resolved, and most importantly we are now in possession of a filled hydrogen tank. We are still having some slight difficulties communicating with our fuel cell. The software on our laptop is not receiving any data from the fuel cell at this point. We will be looking into this immediately. Also we are in the process of acquiring a hydrogen sniffer from Dr. Anstrom to borrow for the next two weeks. After we acquire the sniffer, we will start testing our fuel cell car around the Learning Factory parking lot. Last year's team had only a day or two to test the fuel cell, so we strongly believe that by having two weeks of testing we can really optimize our fuel cell system.
