Lucky 13 in Action

Attached below is simply a basic demonstration of our solar car.  We tested it on the carpet inside our building, but even the small amount of sunlight passing through the windows was strong enough to power it until it reached the shade.  Also, the car accelerated at a noticeable rate.  So, we had rather high hopes for the competition.  We also tested the car on the patio of the Bossone Engineering Center.  Our vehicle actually accelerated at a rate far greater than we had originally assumed.  Needless to say, our car came out of the test somewhat damaged, but we managed to fix it rather easily with an even better structure supporting the solar panel.
