Drivers, Start Your Fuel Cells

Tonight we were able to get our driver, Laura, some seat time in the car. Since we finished the construction of the car (minus the body) on Friday, we were able to test out the brakes, throttle, steering, and pressure regulation of the car. All tests came back positive, with the only issue being a large turning radius. With some adjustments, and a yet to be installed carbon fiber body, the car should soon be in the form that will be unveiled at the Eco-Marathon in two weeks. The team is getting revved up for the competition, and looks forward to a rewarding experience.
