Gulliver will be coming on Wednesday (1/16) because they hope to start a solar go-kart team (this year)
share general advice/past experience
Measuring the voltage of solar panels
Easylog USB: https://www.lascarelectronics.com/software/easylog-software/easylog-usb/
Measure the voltage on our go-kart
Cleaned the kart
Will the water effect the solar panels?
Not really
900 watts- tipping point
150-watt panel (bendable panels)
Stack panels? fold?
How will it change the car’s appearance?
Where would we stack them during the race?
How could you change the configuration of the car?
If we were to rethink the way we carry our panels and not worry about light collecting
Panels cannot touch the ground
COME UP WITH IDEAS!!!!!!!
Max length 12 ft long and 6 ft wide/Only during racing?
