Our Goal
As always, our goal is simple: to create our most effective car yet.
Last year, we built Sockeye out of composite materials, that had an extremely low aerodynamic drag, as well as weight. The tradeoff though, was half of our solar array. This made it our most efficient, but not our most effective car. This year we plan to return to the Texas Motor Speedway with our new car, Ember, which is built upon the philosophy of our past cars.
Building Process
This year we will be going through the full build process, starting with aerodynamics testing and electrical design, and ending with assembly and manufacturing. Through the use of composite materials, better structural design, and more reliable electronics, we hope to achieve our goal.
