It is now just a few days until the start of scrutineering in the American Solar Challenge (27 July in Topeka, KS). I have updated my teams list with facts and pictures.
There are 13 teams still registered for the race. Of these, 5 teams (CalSol 6, Kentucky 3, Illinois State 17, Georgia Tech 49, and App State 828) will be racing veteran cars – although with various improvements. In addition, the Brizo of Illini 22, the Nimbus of MIT 4, and the Cruiser Eliana of PrISUm 9 were completed some weeks or months back. That leaves 5 teams. Of those, Western Michigan 30, Principia 32, North Carolina 99, and Kansas 785 have not yet revealed a completed car, which is disconcerting. However, UMNSVP 35 have revealed their beautiful new Cruiser Freya:
