At the Year Two Competition, Georgia Tech’s EcoCAR 3 team showed excellent preparation for both stages of the event: vehicle performance testing and presentations detailing their research conducted this semester. From their careful and tactful build of their 2016 Chevrolet Camaro to their execution of dynamic events in Yuma, AZ, the team exuded confidence in their final product for competition. Through several contributions on the team, their wiring harness construction on their vehicle led to a start of the vehicle on the first turn over of the ignition – definite bragging rights for this team. Through their successful integration of their entire powertrain, Georgia Tech was one of the teams to have a functioning vehicle at final competition.
Here are some shots of their engineers hard at work throughout the year:
