With the invitation of one of our sponsors, @PhoenixContact0, we were at the Adelaide Showgrounds today to display our solar car for the Adelaide IICA Technology Expo!

We met plenty of great people from different industries exhibiting the latest innovative technologies.

It's been a few weeks since our team wrapped up their grueling adventure through the outback. We punched above our weight and drove our car to its limits. We drove 5-times the amount of distance that our team's two previous solar cars did... COMBINED! Massive thx to our sponsors!

Every wondered how you build a solar endurance car of the future? Look into the passionate work of the @Flinders students who designed and built the Investigator MKIV over the last 2 years.

We'll be cruising into the @WorldSolarChlg in less than 2 weeks!
