The main goals for today were to remove the solar cells due to arcing when the connections touched the conductive carbon fiber frame. This caused problems with the team getting shocked from touching the car, and could deal damage to components of the cell. The cell arrays are also supposed to be tested with a voltmeter, this will ensure that each cell provides proper voltage.A new goal is to create a system which allows us to charge one battery array while running off of the other, this design prevents stress on the batteries, and the battery arrays use the same voltage as the original, but half of the amperage. Here is a wiring diagram for the new battery array system.
