Well, the FSAE car works -- sort of.

I took both wires off the master cylinder switch, spliced the two e-stop circuit wires together (no solder this time, just twisted well), removed the switch, and tidied up the wires with electrical tape.

When I turned the car on the green lights were on the controllers but when I hit the throttle nothing happened. After maybe a minute the car moved a twitch on its own (just like 1 turn of the wheels, the same as it did when I turned the second dash switch on. It would not have turned fully if the wheels were on the ground).

After that happened I tried the throttle and it worked fine. Hit the brake, brakes worked. Hit the throttle again, throttle worked properly. Both controllers seemed pretty even.

So, we will make a second attempt at a test drive this week I guess. We can't go very fast or far because of the bad rear tire (a small bulge in it like a separated ply or something.)
