It’s out of the workshop and into the library for team Green Dragon. T-minus 26 hours until report hand in #finalpush #getusbackintheworkshop

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

@Kestrel_GPT Best of luck from all of us at Green Dragon Racing. We look forward to hearing how you get on! 🚗

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

Before and after: the rear wheel mounts have now been welded on to the uprights in preparation for mounting our wheels #greenpower

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

@Kestrel_GPT Hoping to be race ready by 2019!

Jake admiring his work, and dreaming of the day when his smooth nosecone makes its debut on the racetrack #greenpower

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

Fresh from his work on the Bloodhound SSC, our man @JoeOCS94 is shaping our nose cone to a profile smoother than Michael Jacksons criminal. Artisan work #greenpower #cardiffuni

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

There really is no stopping the man. Our award-winning apprentice Jake takes a leaf out of Sam’s book, taking command of some quality control for the shaping of our nosecone #precision #greenpower

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

Resident tenor @JoeOCS94 is met with hearty applause and mild bemusement after a scintillating rendition of 'somewhere over the rainbow', helping to lift the spirits of the boys on this dreary April morning #greenpower #cardiffuni

Chief drill man Jon Hatton passing on the baton to his eager apprentice Jake. Nothing can stop this man on his quest to learn #manonamission #greenpower

It's been a fantastic week for the team, with the chassis for our first bogie assembled, the motors attached and electronics running in just a couple of days!
Also don't forget to submit your entries for the naming competition, it closes on 1st April so only 2 weeks left...

[CardiffRailChallenge @CURailChallenge]

Are you a current 3rd year engineering student at Cardiff, who's wondering what projects to get involved in for your fourth and final year?
Have a look at our promotional video, which gives background to the challenge, and explains a bit more about us.

@GreggsOfficial our man Jon is in dire need of another custard slice, his work seriously suffering. Any chance of sponsorship? We'll put your name on the car!

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

A man of many talents, not only can @HattonJon drill for wales, he can eat a whole @GreggsOfficial custard slice in one go, without chewing!

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

Only a spotless workshop will do for team Janitor @GeorgeJacobs7 who lives by his motto; 'clean workplace, clean mind'.

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

You just can't stop a man when he's as passionate about something as Sam King is about tolerances. Once again demonstrating his commitment, our indefatigable quality inspector works tirelessly in to the late afternoon #greenpower #cardiffuni

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

Here we see an exchange of friendly banter between our boys and those of @CURailChallenge. Their train is coming along nicely, but the consensus from our lads is that their chat needs a bit of work #greenpower #imecherailwaychallenege

[Cardiff Greenpower @CUGreenDragon]

Eyes glossy with crazed ambition, resident drill man @HattonJon professes to his teammates that he won't stop drilling until he reaches oil. It'll be a sleepless night for the Saudi oil Barron's as they watch their kingdom crumble #greenpower

Jessica 'The Grafter' Rafter uses some dubiously sourced crimp clips in the NI lab. A true daredevil, the only safety precaution taken when working with extreme voltages are the 'lucky dungarees'
