| Arlo Siemsen - Electronics expert for U of M Solar Car |
Arlo Siemsen gave a talk on the University of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project. The solar car is designed and built by U of M undergraduates at an approximate cost of $250,000. With many funds donated by local companies.
On October 15, 2013 the vehicle completed the 3,000 kilometer 2013 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia. It placed 4th in the Cruiser class. Less than 50% of all teams completed the race under their own power.
Fun fact: U of MN DEHS employee David Paulu is a former member of a past U of M Solar Car team.
