Still no welder to finish the battery trays. My brother is the official bottleneck now.

Today: reinstalled the potbox and calibrated the pot to the go pedal's travel.

Piled 6 batteries inside the car on the floor, and started sorting out temporary cabling to hook 'em all together.

The thought is: if we get the thing mobile, we can move it between our houses as needed and it'll up the convenience factor & motivation for all involved.

Ivan's place is less than a km away over pretty flat roads. The dead floor cleaner batteries we have should be able to manage the trip...

The weather's warm enough to work in an unheated garage (heck, it's warm enough to work on the driveway now).
