Ergo Manufacturing Timeline

Now - 2/24 Get all new Ergo designs reviewed and approved (pedal box, dashboard, communications)

• Determine dimensions for stock
• Order stock
  • Water-jet aluminum jig plates, ballast boxes, seat back, head restraint, dashboard, pedal base, foot pads (?) 

2/17- Top Shell Holder

• Purchase wood, foam tape, L-brackets
• Assemble and finish top shell holder before Aero layup
• Determine Handbrake placement

2/24-3/9 Aluminum Frame Jig Handed over to Dynamics on 2/17

• Mill blocks
• CNC plates, tabs (don't know if buying or making)?
• Cut bars to length

3/2-4/13 Pedal Box

• Order pedal arms, wave spring, connector rod
• Waterjet - pedal base, foot pad, connector cubes
• CNC - pedal base, mounting tabs, 
• Weld mounting tab to base

AFTER 2/24 - Will be parallelized

• Find fans for driver cooling
• Buy & cut driver shields
• Buying pedal arms, acquiring brake cylinders & accelerator cylinder
• Buy hinges, L-brackets, pipe clamps for ballast boxes
• Order roll cage foam
• Buy seat, back, and head restraint foam & epoxy
• Steering wheel grip tape
• 3D print radio holder

Biggest concern is not knowing what we already have (and where is it) vs what we need to buy

Purchase requests- what if we don't know exactly what we need to buy yet (for ex top shell holder we may need to buy foam tape, wood, and L brackets) does this have t be finalized before we go buy

Ordering stock - how to request this and what does the timeline usually look like after you order it

• same with water-jetting, welding (this is in-house but is there only a certain time-frame we can do this?)
• water jetting- westbrook metals - get a quote

CNC - none of our members are CNC trained, we will likely need this for pedal base/mounts

Waterjet:

• seat back
• seat headrest
• ballast box x 2
• belly pan
• pedal base
• pedals/foot pads/wave springs
• brake/accelerator mounts
• dashboard

order/buy:

• driver shields (is steering shields still needed?)
• seat bottom/back foam
• steering wheel grip
• pedal arms
• brake/accel cylinders?
• cube-shaped brake connectors?
• aluminum jig plates/blocks/tabs/rod end bolts
• ballast box hinges/pipe clamps
