  • I like the tilting solar panel. That will help depending on what time your race is and where the sun is in the sky. I would like to see some time trials on the video or listed on the webpage, though. Great job.

  • Very interesting design using the carbon fiber material. The chassis looks so light. I am looking forward to seeing this car in action!
