It is now two weeks until the start of scrutineering in the American Solar Challenge (27 July in Topeka, KS). I have updated my teams list with facts and pictures.
There are 13 teams still registered for the race. Of these, 5 teams (CalSol 6, Kentucky 3, Illinois State 17, Georgia Tech 49, and App State 828) will be racing veteran cars – although with various improvements. In addition, the Brizo of Illini 22, the Nimbus of MIT 4, and the Cruiser Eliana of PrISUm 9 were completed some weeks or months back. That leaves 5 teams. Of those, North Carolina 99 is continuing their experiment of gutting a commercial ICE vehicle and turning it into a solar-powered Cruiser:
The Cruiser Freya I of UMNSVP 35 is looking good, although still missing its vinyl wrap:
Also, Principia 32 is making progress on their Ra XI, and Western Michigan 30 and Kansas 785 are also still busy with construction. Good luck, one and all!
