We've arrived!

Hey,

We arrived in Fort Worth around 7 pm central time. Some teams were already here. Tomorrow's registration and first day of scrutineering. We can't wait to start this race! It's gonna be awesome. We'll post picture tomorrow. We didn't really do much today. We had 12 hours of uneventful driving. The video blog is coming soon.

Wish us luck,

First Day Recap

Hey,

So we're all sitting around now doing our individual tasks. We're going to act as if tomorrow is an actual day of racing so we're all getting our responsibilities in order. We had a pretty good day, minus the minor difficulty we experienced when we noticed that one of the tires in the van was bulging. We changed the tire in 20 minutes and got back on the road. We had a good dinner, including some riddles that challenged our minds. Here are some pictures of the day:

On the road!

Texas here we come! We departed this morning at 5:45. We had lunch in Gainesville, Jason and Daniella's new home. We're currently on I-10 heading towards Tallahassee. We plan on reaching Mobile, Al around 5 this afternoon. Pictures and a video will be posted later.

Wish us luck,
Solar Knights

Cross-Country Trip: T-1 Day!

We had a very busy day!

Hey,

We're working very hard on our car. Yesterday, we worked all day and then had a parent meeting. We're only two weeks away! The array is almost done and now we're working on the auxilliary wiring. We'll be road testing in the Everglades next Tuesday.

Here are some pictures:

Catching Up

Hey,

So these past few weeks we've been working on two things: The BIG Raffle and the NEW Array.
We're mailing out information about our big raffle and there's also information here on the blog and on our websites. Please help us with our race expenses.
Our new array is mounted and wired. It's awesome! Totally glassless. So much lighter than our old cells.

Here are some pictures:








We even had to take some letters home with us...
