Chapter 13: Balancing Risk (5/23/25)

This chapter recounts the team's final preparations and qualifying events leading up to the TT Zero race. During a test run, a near-catastrophic motor failure forces the team to make a critical decision: rebuild the motors with a risky and untested procedure. Despite the pressure and uncertainty, they successfully complete the rebuild, showcasing their problem-solving skills and teamwork. The team then participates in two qualifying events, facing stiff competition from experienced teams like Motoczysz and Kingston University. They overcome further technical challenges, including a data logger malfunction and motor synchronization issues, demonstrating their resilience and adaptability. The chapter culminates with the team feeling confident and ready for the race, their focus shifting from anxiety to determination.
