This morning Charlie, David H., Jonathon, and Henry disassembled a Power Wheels Jeep Wrangler that they picked up on Friday. Everything that was attached by a screw was dismounted and the rest was cut out. Primarily, the guts, or electrical/motors, were salvaged.

The chassis was constructed after taking some basic measurements. An outlining frame, consisted of PVC piping was created and placed between two, cut, plywood pieces. Screws were bolted in to hold everything together for the axels to be attached to. The wires that were cut in order to disassemble the vehicle were soldered back together. After making sure that everything had proper connections, we moved onto the design of the shell. The goal of this project is to turn this battery operated kids toy into a solar powered, remote control car. Stay tuned for daily updates!
