We decided to re-create our machine from the bottom
to win a higher rank in races.
This year's plans were:
1. Reducing weight by downsizing the chassis and reveiwing optimum
technique for carbon.
2. Remodeling the shape of the body to reduce aerodynamic drag.
3. Installing single crystalline silicon solar cells. |

We succeeded in reducing the chassis's weight by 10kg.
To our regret, the new shape of the turned out to be a failure. We
need to refine the shape of the body. |
