Daniel: make aero around dashboard easy to take off (i.e. not just ziptied on) so battery can be more easily replaced

Working Checklist

WHAT ARE OUR BIG GOALS?
Where to put a radiator?
~~Contact Al/Glen/someone re: materials for bodywork~~
~~#s for: wattage of cooling needed?~~
~~Meet w Lamyaa 12/17 to talk aero/cooling~~
- Volumetric flow of air needed? (opening area?)
- ~~Turbulent vs straight airflow? (cost/benefit of drag/cooling?)~~
- ~~Water vs air cooling? (how much cooling can we expect to come passively from the air vs the liquid cooling system?)~~

To do:

Research other similar liquid cooled vehicles (how do they cool? Radiator placement? Amount of water?)

Reach out to DHX for motor specs (working surface temp? Delta T for liquid?)

Radiator specs research

Is there a typical radiator motor combo?

Aero

Rear wing will take care of downforce on corners
- Could think about a front wing, but really just a bonus
Work on minimizing drag with the rest of the design
Material for the bodywork?
- How are we supposed to mount the bodywork? → already emailed Al, awaiting response
