First movement!!

The GravityBowl came off of blocks and onto tires this weekend. Kevin worked like a mad dog to get the mechanical finished. We still need to complete and install the motor controllers but as a test we connected one of the motors to a car battery and were able to get the GravityBowl to move back-and-forth with four passengers inside.

We will be hosting a test-drive event in Seattle in the next couple months where we will demo the car and potentially give rides. Check this site for updates, as we'll be posting details on the Blog.

The slip ring assembly allows the tire to rotate continuously and still provide power motor.
