Back from Houston

Big new update guys! We have had some down time since then but we completed our race in Houston, Texas. We participated in the Shell Eco-Marathon and placed third in our division (solar). We all had a great time and worked really hard. Not only did we wake up early, we stayed late to work on both J-Bird and EV Solar as much as we could. Although we didn't take home the gold, we plan to participate next year with a brand new vehicle. Here are some photos we took along the way:
