Yesterday was the first day of the American Solar Challenge where all the teams drove from Rochester, NY to Erie, PA. All the teams started from the Rochester Institute of Technology’s campus and arrived at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center for the Stage Stop. Even after the treacherous downpours of rain that we experienced in the morning, we’re keeping strong and are still in the lead as we reached the Mansfield, OH control stop. Now, we’re in Ohio for the night until we can be back in Ann Arbor for the stage stop tomorrow! Keep checking our twitter/facebook for more frequent updates!
