Solar Car Competition (Part 1)

Well... I guess i could start by describing my experience when i entered the Solar Car Competition. (^-^)

On the day of the competition (Tuesday), when we entered the Physics Lab of SMK Mutiara, i was like so nervous. XD

Honestly, i didn't know what i was getting myself into.

Then the judges gave us a short briefing (5 minutes?) and the competition began.

There were 10 teams if I'm not mistaken.

2 groups from 5 schools.

Well, my school, St Anne, had one all-girls team and one all-boys team.

And when the judge walked away, the other teams began scrambling all over the place.

And my team (me, Kyky and Phan Ning) just sat there- with our mouths hanging open.

XD

Lawl.

We REALLY had no idea what we gotten ourselves into.

But we had no choice so we began "constructing" our so-called solar car.

I busied my self in helping Kyky to smold/pateri the solar cells.



(Which turned out to be useless, because the solar cells didn't work in the first place. =.=)

We frequently checked the cells for any signs of voltage or ampere, still there was none.

(Again, we didn't know that some of the solar cells didn't work)

We must have looked dumb.

XD

Standing beside the "light" while waiting for some readings.

Eventually, we asked the judge for new NINE solar cells to replace our broken ones.

I also occasionally hovered to the boys' table, just to see how they were doing.

...

Well, gotta get some sleep now.

XD

I'll continue tomorrow.

Nite-nite everyone!
