Race Day 5 - Thursday
IVy on the finish line.
Summary
With 567km to go before the finish line, and MIT hot on our tails, we had a big day ahead of us. If we wanted to make it straight to Victoria Square we would have to arrive in Angle Vale before 3pm. We arrived at 3:08pm. Not only were we the first Australian team, we were the first silicon solar powered car to cross the finish line. We placed 4th overall, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our result. We’re the highest placing Sunswift team ever!
Electrical
In the morning at Glendambo we noticed that 2 out of 33 battery modules were charging quicker than the other 31. There was a potential safety issue if the modules were to overcharge, and they could also potentially discharge far quicker than the rest of the battery. Should they overcharge, worst-case scenario, they could set on fire. Should they discharge too much, they could make the battery unusable. The prudent option was to bypass them entirely to mitigate any potential safety issues. This took about 2 minutes at the control stop, and the electrical team were happy that the battery was now safe.
Mechanical
No issues.
We could not have accomplished all that we did without the help of our supporters, friends, family and sponsors. We'll keep updating this page with more information and pictures as we get back to Sydney on Wednesday/Thursday.
Thanks for keeping up to date with our progress through the race. We're really excited about Sunswift.com's popularity lately.
Sunswift pretty happy at the 'end of timing' control stop.
