  2. Team Mentor/Sponsor- Dr. Olga Lavrora • Team Members- • Kevin Benally • Kyle Decker • Orlando Gutierrez • Jesus Hernandez • Yun Pei

  3. Responsibility/ Roles • Orlando Gutierrez- Team Leader- Research, Makes sure things are getting done. Lays out what tasks needed to be completed. • Kevin Benally-Pawn - Research, Solar Array, Lights, Charging Circuit • Kyle Decker- Research, Any thing mechanical, such as making the steering better, designing the body, suspension, wheels. • Jesus Hernandez-Pawn - Research, Solar Array,Lights, Charging Circuit • Yun Pei- Research, Battery Management system.

  4. Project Description • The purpose of this project is to design, construct and test a vehicle that is self-sustaining and capable of running purely off of collected solar energy. The solar car must meet the requirements of the American Solar Car Challenge.

  5. Goal of the project • The project goal is to have the solar car ready to compete in the American Solar Car Challenge.
