Day 12/13 - Getting prepped for the show!!

To make sure the kart was alright after the slight accident in Day 11's testing, the team stayed indoor carrying out a full spanner check to check if anything had come loose after the collision.

The bent steering column and front bumper was straightened as well so they could be used in testing again.

Next, different settings for the controller program was trialed following an on-going email conversation between UK and the American based companies. Still not yet perfect but we are getting there.

Being a guest on the upcoming TV morning show, we spent some time to clean the kart and make it shiny. Some logo stickers were re-applied. The number boards on the sides were re-made as well.
