Almost Ready to Mill

All sponsorship requests have been sent out. We will begin to mill the car this coming week since the car will be completed over the next couple days. Another major change were making to the car is to have the front airfoil be 3d printed out of ABS plastic. We have a couple reasons for this...
1: Far great precision and accuracy compared to milling it our of balsa wood.
2: Increased weight at the front to move the center of mass farter away from the CO2 cartridge.
3: Increased stability and structual durability since the our new design has a few areas that would risk breaking without the ABS airfoil.
