The next lap

Met up with most of the new FYP batch for the solar car today. Hopefully they would bond together as a team over time, and decide on which aspects of the their solar car they would be working on.

Having started on nothing and designing the solar car through the past year, felt that having someone with experience in actually building up a car is essential. Especially with integration of all the parts, considerations etc. I hope that the new batch would be able to learn stuff together with us, thus able to have a shorter learning curve in regards to designing a 'buildable' car which would be able to perform better. I, and i believe yongxi too, had learnt a lot from John, especially his input on how to design interfaces between components.

I hope that the new group will be able to maintain interest in building a new car of their own in time to come, and form a solar car racing team for NTU, so as to give a chance for undergrads from different majors to join in the fun in designing, building and driving solar cars. Lets hope i can hands off once the WSC is over... and move on to the next lap for my adventure in life. =)
