The Solar Car Project is a two year project.
Students work diligently on fundraising, design and manufacturing, and race logistics planning.
Throughout this time other normal business activities take place that is common for any large multidisciplinary organization. Just as other organizations provide feedback to their investors the Solar Car Team reports project progress to their supports. The Solar Car Team provides progress updates in a number of ways. The Team operates a web cam from their construction facilities in the UMR Student Design Competition Center. The camera returns images from the shop floor as Solar Miner III is being produced.
