TICO MEANS BLOKE

Since noones used this for a while I thought I'd say something.


BLAH!



See you in two weeks!

For next week (W8) 20.09.06

DESIGN FREEZE

Groups present your TICO EV design!

Week 8 (W8) 13.09.06 Discussion

** No class notes taken **

Week 7 (W7) 06.09.06 Discussion

** No class notes taken **

Holy Moly

Check this out, a recent link to a blog of a "tico" made electric vehicle!!!

http://american-european.net/blogs/costa-rica-news/2005/09/26/tico-creates-electric-tricycle/

Simon stated that the Favela is dead...

BUT

That doesnt mean that this blog has to die people. I have noticed that the use of this blog has slowed down. I think that this blog should not only be a source of information as to what happen in class. But If you have information that could be benificial to everyone, or would like to discuss problems like eg: Tan and EV's in general please do post!

OTHER BLOGS

Some of us, as groups are creating new blogs specific to our design scenario.

Please post in the comments section your groups blog so that it can be added to the links.

Cheers.
