In the 2018 Solar Car Challenge, the SolarCats competed in the cross-country race from Fort Worth, Texas to Palmdale, California and won 1st place in our division.
This year we had a majorily new team, the same car which had been improved, and competed in the Classic Division once again. In these 7 days of racing, with one rest day, we covered 544.4 miles.
Through the race the car ran the best it could've run, no issues were encountered. Our biggest struggle this year was Scrutineering but through hard work we made it through. This being our second year participating in the cross-country race we used our previous experiences to our benefit.
We couldn't have been able to have this great achievement if it wasn't for the help from our sponsors, mentors, teacher and all that supported this project and this team.
