We are thrilled to announced that all 16 EcoCARs have been approved to ship to Yuma! Thirteen of the vehicles are already on the way to the Desert Proving Ground in Yuma, Arizona and the remaining three will be picked up today.

This weekend, the EcoCARs will undergo an initial safety and technical inspection before the teams arrive and the competition kicks off on Tuesday, May 18.

The EcoCAR Year Two Finals is only one week away and anticipation and excitement is high!

Georgia Tech EcoCAR Students Mentor Robotics League Team

May 10, 2010 in Team Posts by ggguest | No comments

Last month, the Georgia Tech EcoCAR team had the pleasure of hosting the Rocketeers, a team from New York, competing in the FIRST Robotics League Championship at the Georgia Dome.

Georgia Tech’s team leader, Ryan Meslert, walked the boys through the team’s garage and explained in detail how they were re-engineering the EcoCAR. The Rocketeers were excited to learn that they too could participate in a hands-on engineering program during college. The Georgia Tech team talked to the New York students about the EcoCAR competition goals, its national sponsors and what the team has learned so far. 

We hope the Rocketeers had a great time at the championship!

The Rocketeers!
