Today we were visited by Simon Pullinger and Amy Szypica from RS Components. RS has generously donated all kinds of equipment and components that will make an enormous difference in the construction of Sunswift IV, and to the team's student members in years to come. Highlights of their donation include a new digital oscilloscope, multimeter, milling tools, toolboxes, heatshrink and glues.
Not only did RS give us these fantastic, high-quality tools, they also gave the team members knives, coffee cups and all kinds of other goodies.
It is a wonderful contribution to our team, and we look forward to working with RS Components for our electronic and mechanical component and tooling needs in the future. ... contribution to our team, and we look forward to working with RS Components for our electronic and mechanical component and tooling needs in the future.

- The UNSW SRT has been spending several weekends over the past month at our workshop. The team has been experimenting with a life size mock-up of the solar car, testing new steering system ideas and finding ways to provide the passenger with more room. We also took the car for a short test run...
- Apart from having much better handling characteristics, the new suspension system for Jaycar Sunswift III will be considerably lighter than its predecessor. We estimate a weight saving of at least 8kg - which is significant on a car that only weighs 220kg! The weight loss comes from better...
- The design of our new suspension system has been finalised. The system was designed by a final year Mechanical Engineering student for their thesis project. We're now busy ordering in materials and organising for all the components to be manufactured. One of the crucial components of any suspension...

- The mechanical team have been working hard to get all their designs finalised. Seen here is the new steering design for the car. Because of the thin profile of our car we didn't have room for both a driver and a steering wheel in the cockpit. An unusual steering mechanism had to be designed which...
