I’ve been a member of SC Solar Car since I was a sophomore and ever since then, I’ve been working with my team to build USC’s first solar car. We are planning on competing in the summer of 2024, so there’s a lot of work to be done!
As co-team lead and electrical lead, I’ve been part of the design of a significant portion of the vehicle, primarily the electrical system. We are currently in a unit testing/design cramming phase.
