Wisconsin Racing

Ziang worked super hard over last week’s Thanksgiving week. While most of the team was stuffing their bellies, Ziang was grinding in the electrical room getting BTBs assembled and validated. As a newer member, Ziang has been killing it learning a ton & helping the electrical team blast through their deadlines!

Richard transformed a simple idea into this year’s fully upgraded steering wheel display. Coding it all in C on ESP-IDF and putting in a couple late nights to get it right. The display now boots in seconds and comes with major improvements, and yes, every text is in Comic Sans to remind the driver of the best font.

The last two weeks have been packed with design reviews and testing! Huge shoutout to the chassis team — their reviews went great, and they gained key insights from validating our carbon suspension members. The powertrain team’s been making big moves too, with motor shafts cut to size and sent out for hobbing! Plus, progress on firmware testing, electronics, and some nice mass savings on our uprights. Awesome work all around!
