D1 February Status Update

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Vivien Wang.

We are working very hard on our new car, D1, which will compete in the World Solar Challenge in Australia this October. This car has a 1 year design cycle. It’s our first four wheeled, two seat car. It’s also our first car that emphasizes practicality rather than speed.

Our Aerodynamics team is working on the molds and will start shell layups next week.

EE team finished the first revision PCB of all the electrical subsystem. We are writing software to test the boards.
