The First Drive Under Electric Power

Today, Aidan and I had a very exciting day. We left school early to pick up a trailer so we could tow the car. It turns out that the trailer was too much for the poor little Discovery, so we rented one from uhaul. We then towed the electric car from w-burg to our friends at Middle Peninsula Golf Carts. There, they wired up the control and told us how we could program it at home. Well, after some trial and error, we wired everything up properly and were able to connect the controller to the computer through the antiquated "Comm port." Well, we are immensely pleased. We have to sort out the controller's current on/off nature and perhaps, later, the transmission issues. The videos speak for themselves!
