PREPARED QUESTIONS
1. Do you have any suggestions on how we can raise additional funding to complete the 2013 SIUC Moonbuggy?
2. What methods should be used to test safety critical and low factor of safety parts before assembly?
3. Do you have any ideas on methods to test the completed vehicle to ensure that it is ready for competition?
4. What suggestions do you have on the material selection and design for the seats? Are there any concerns with using fiberglass?
5. Are there any other manufacturing methods that we should consider that would decrease our manufacturing time and costs?
6. Do you have any particular concerns with current 2013 design that we need to remedy?
