Great design. Simple yet effective. Good luck at State.
Great job. I saw this one in person and like the design. I think the solar panel is still at too steep of a slope, so you might want to check that before the race in Cocoa. Otherwise, it’s a great design and very sturdy.

Experience can be a great advantage. A good looking design. See you on race day!
Nice sleek design y’all! Good luck in Cocoa!
Your efforts in getting everything perfectly aligned and geared properly gave you a great result. Good luck at the big race!
