Each team has been building an electric vehicle throughout the school year.
They began by researching and designing the types of vehicles they might want to build, including frame, steering, braking, gearing, power, and drive options – and the optimal combination to provide the best overall performance and energy efficiency.
The students will spend the day displaying and racing their electric, autonomous, and
experimental vehicles.
