Day 1 Done, 5 more to go!

Today marked an exceptional start for Principia Solar Car at scrutineering. Beginning with a comprehensive 9 am all-teams meeting, we covered the essential rules and logistics necessary for a smooth scrutineering process.

Throughout the day, we focused on optimizing our battery capacity and implementing crucial improvements, which have already started to pay off. By the end of the first day, we secured half of the required green stickers needed to qualify for track entry. We received green stickers for Array Testing, Safety, Battery Protection System, and Impound Box. We have yellow stickers for Electrical and Lights & Vision.

The remaining stations we need to clear are Mechanical, Dynamics, Body & Sizing, Driver Operations, and Driver Registration. Dynamics is the final stage before we are allowed on the track. While yellow stickers indicate that Dynamics is permitted, we need all green stickers to get on the track.

Securing this many green stickers on the very first day is a significant achievement for Principia Solar Car. In previous summers, we did not reach this level of compliance so swiftly. This progress reflects our team’s dedication, hard work, and continuous improvement.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey through scrutineering!
