Our team have been working solidly on designing a new front bumber for morpheus, to create a crumple zone to comply with the new regulations. curently we are experimenting with paper machae, also we are considering fabricating a new bumber out of carbon fiber.
Our sixth form team has been working very hard on building the garage for morpheus which is looking fantastic with all the new shelving and workspace, however it is still in construction so whatch this space for more updates.
