Electrathon Race at Fox Valley Technical College
Electrathon Race at Road America 2019
Designed and Built this Super Mileage/ Electrathon Energy Efficient Race Car
Engineered, fabricated, welded, and fine tuned a 3-wheeled energy efficient diesel/ electric racing machine
Acquired data analysis, vehicle dynamics and other technical skills from mentors in the field of Mechanical Engineering and Race Engineering
Competed with over 70 other race cars at Road America, Autobahn Country Club, and with five podium finishes
2017

The purpose of the team is to teach high school students real world applications with hands on engineering and teamwork. We build 3-wheeled racing machines from the ground up and are capable of achieving 400 MPG. We also create electric cars that are capable of going over 30 miles on a single charge. Our team competes in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. A few of the main tracks we race at are Fox Valley Technical College, Autobahn Country Club, and Road America. There are 60 teams that participate in these races. We are the largest team and rated as the top competitor in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. We have eleven cars and over 30 team members. One of the fastest growing teams in the Midwest.
