Hey, it's been awhile, and I don't really have much of any really up to date photos, but I did manage to get some photos from awhile back. John was kind of enough to email me the photos he had taken on a few of the days we were welding on the trailer.
Now, the funny thing is with this one, this was right before I decided to weld the supports on at the wrong angle. Notice my puzzled face, this played a roll later.
Pictured, myself on the far left, John (main design student of the trailer) in the center, and Arjay on the far right.
I had a lot of fun working with all the metal, and problem solving. As you can see, we took a flat trailer bed, and well, went gun ho on it!
And finally, here is a photo of the trailer, with the tower attached. This is one mean machine when it's all erect! It's amazing to have started with something so bland, and with some serious work, have something so amazing. The entire set up was SO stable, even without the outriggers, so I believe John (the engineering student) did a wonderful job in designing the trailer. And thanks to Rob (Physics building machinist(?)) we have one awesome piece of equipment ready to launch our rocket off of. Now to finish the rocket :D
