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!

Wiring up the car
We are at middle penninsula golf carts wiring up the car. It's a bit different, so they are using the time tested trial and error method. We had to rent a trailer that was self braking, so we could tow it with the discovery. Thank you to Mike, though, for offering his trailer.
