We are off to a good start here in Michigan!

We placed 6th out of 120 teams in CAD model drawings:

We flew through the tech inspection and tilt test:

Had a great result in the cost event with 73/100 pts earned and one of the lowest costed cars. We were actually audited because our cost was so low and we had to run through every component in our cost report and show it on the car. Everything checked out though!

We also received positive feedback from our marketing presentation and the design judging went reasonably well!

We are looking forward to the dynamic events tomorrow!

Thanks again to all our sponsors! More to come very soon!!
