Hey T,

I'm currently in research mode (for another project)
...& don't know much about aluminum or composite construction
...but, I'ma learnin'

 

[Functional Artist]

I made up a tri-fold flyer about the Electrathon America program, a while back
...& now, have had a chance to do some adjusting on the borders, a bit
...some slight editing
...& also, add a splash of color

Most of the text was "cut & pasted" right from the EA rulebook
...but, to help promote this "hands on" student learning, activity program
...maybe...in our local school system
...&/or some of the bigger local churches
...or?? (anyone got any ideas?)

I made a couple of adjustments
...& here is what I did

1.) original mission statement
Our MISSION: To inspire an interest in Science, Engineering, and Technology by involving participants in the design, construction, testing and development of competitive electric vehicles.

So, I added "Mathematics"
...& also, re-arranged the words Science, Engineering, and Technology
...to Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
...or STEM (like used in many school systems)

2.) original text under Vehicles
VEHICLES
Electrathon vehicles are single person, lightweight, aerodynamic, high efficiency, electric vehicles with three or four pneumatic tires. They must meet specific design and safety rules.They are powered by standard sealed (won’t leak if damaged) lead acid battery packs not exceeding the weight limit specified in the vehicle design rules section.

I removed "standard sealed (won’t leak if damaged) lead acid"
...& simply inserted "(up to)1kWh"

When are you going? You should go and inspire the young engineers, geeks and nerds as well as future gearheads.

Yup, the whole program is to help inspire the youngsters
...that's why I like it so much

The flyer is to be able to either hand out manually
...&/or to send electronically

I'ma thinkin'/hopin' these are printable PDF links

Hey Denny,

I don't think your ICE kart would be very welcome at an EA race
...kinda against their rules

I would let ya run your "gasser" at my DIY Champion Track
...but, its gotta have a comparable HP rating

I'm running a 48V 1,000W motor (~1.2HP)
...but, I'll even let ya double that up
...& let ya bring a 2.5HP kart

 

[Master Hack]

..maybe these?

sorry, no

 

[Functional Artist]

sorry, no

Well...heck

I made these up in Google Documents
...then, saved 'em as a PDF file
...& first posted the "headers" (as links)
...& then, just posted the "headers"

Anyone know how to "save" a Google Docs file (thats how the kool kids say it)
...so, its postable, on here
...&/so then, others can download & print it?

 

[Master Hack]

WTF is a google doc?
Sounds like a pervert doctor?

 

[Functional Artist]

these should work

 

[Denny]

these should work

And yet they don’t. But my phone has 3 new viruses now from it!

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Works for me on my laptop, or lapdrop as I like to call it.

 

[Master Hack]

I was able to download the latest and it works!

 

[Functional Artist]

And yet they don’t. But my phone has 3 new viruses now from it!

Hey Denny,
Um...this new fangled technology don't work on..."land lines"

Maybe stop by your local library
...& ask the nice lady to help you

 

[Master Hack]

Is he so far advanced in technology he got virus on a land line?

 

[Denny]

Hey Denny,

I’ll do that, but she’s not nice at all. She’s a mean old crow who always calls me stupid.
