I and a few other classmates were presented with the opportunity to participate in the inaugural solar regatta that was a competition hosted by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, The challenge was to design and build an electric/solar power water craft to compete against other schools.
Unfortunately during testing the night prior to competition we lost our power-train to the depths of our vessel test site and were only able to bring our craft for show purposes.
