High Level Dependency - Fergo/Body/Structures/blahblahblah
In Order of Completion
Start designing & validating the frame
Requires:
Deciding on a 3 vs 4 wheel car
Aeroshell dimensions (how wide is the car, how much gap between shell and frame, etc etc)
Suspension dimensions/locations (where are they mounting, hardpoint spacing, etc etc)
Battery Box mounting location & size
Rough Driver dimensions/occupant cell size
Decision on hybrid frame (tubes and sandwich panels) or just tubes
Leads to:
Start designing the frame welding jig
Other subsystems like ergo, cooling, etc. to be able to start designing around the frame design
Start all Ergo projects/parts (concurrent with/closely behind frame design & validation)
Requires:
Driver model (seat, harness, pedal box, etc.)
Occupant cell design and dimensions (ballast box, seat, belly pan, etc.)
Steering system location and dimensions (steering wheel)
Wheel locations (running/planning brake lines for pedal box and E-brake)
Leads to:
Start designing the frame welding jig (if a jig needs to be made for welding to frame)
Welding the frame (if parts need to be welded in general)
Integration (for smaller/straightforward parts, we can go straight from production to integration)
Start designing the frame welding jig
Requires:
General frame prototype/design to go off
ALL (and I mean legit every single damn one) mounting tab locations that need to be welded BY every system
Leads to:
Ordering the frame
Ordering the frame
Requires:
Frame being fully validated and cleared by ASC
Frame CAD assembly integrates well and without interference with other systems
Leads to:
Welding the frame
Welding the frame
Requires:
All frame tubes and mounting tabs received
All personnel that will be welding the frame to be properly trained and have a good amount of practice hours welding beforehand
Leads to:
Integration
Integration (hell)
Requires:
Frame fully welded, including ALL mounting tabs
Ergo parts are fully made and ready to mount/attach
Leads to:
Happiness
Freedom
Pure Bliss even
Car work
