Design Objective:
Create a lightweight enclosure to house stacks of rechargeable batteries for a solar-powered car. The enclosure must allow for easy installation and removal of battery stacks for competition manipulation and also minimize space and weight.

Design Solution:
A vertical grid of Kevlar cells with cutouts that allow the batteries to be carefully removed in stacks with both hands.

Result:
The battery enclosure uses a minimum of space and very little material for low weight. The slots in each wall of the enclosure allow two-handed access to any battery stack by placing one hand on the battery stack and the other hand in an adjacent cell.

Time: 2 days
Tools: SolidWorks, hole saw, band saw, clamps
