Blog #5.5 | First Hackathon Special

This week we’ve decided to give all of you a special blog post live during our 24 hour Hackathon. While things have slowed down considerably due to it currently being 3:00AM, we still have members of Propulsion, Frame, and Thrust Vectoring hard at work on each of their projects. Amidst all of these activities, I’d like to say that we’re all very appreciative of our team’s sponsors and that just from this year, we’ve become the engineering club with the largest budget, all thanks to UNH, the faculty, and our corporate sponsors. We really couldn’t have done it without you!

So far, Propulsion has been working on preparing for what will hopefully be a fully functional hotfire test this coming Thursday. The Frame team has done a full rework of the frame materials switching from carbon fiber to fiberglass along with working out the entire internal support structure. Thrust Vectoring has been creating a small scale functional model of the engine gimbal. And finally Business has been drafting a new UNH SEDS Constitution and updating the website (Which is what I’m doing right now). We’re definitely all very tired, but we are all going to push through the night somehow. One thing’s for sure, we’re all sleeping in Sunday morning without question.
