Platinum Resistance
A test of teamwork, engineering skill and endurance across the Australian Outback (MIT)
In early October, 12 members of MIT’s Solar Electric Vehicle Team (SEVT)
boarded planes bound for Darwin, Australia — the departure city of the 2011
Veolia World Solar Challenge (WSC). Held every two years, the World Solar
Challenge (WSC) attracts solar electric vehicle teams from around the world,
many of whom have spent years building, testing and preparing their solar car
for the event. Beginning in Darwin, teams raced 1,864 miles south to Adelaide
from Oct. 16 through Oct. 22.
Thirty-six teams competed in this year’s challenge including MIT’s SEVT,
captained by MIT senior Alejandro Arambula and Rachel Batzer ’11. Joining them
were junior Michael Buchman, Kai Cao ’11, senior George Hansel, Alexander
Hayman ’09, junior Alix de Monts, Chris Pentacoff ’06, seniors Lauren Chai and
Kelly Ran ’11, junior Adam Delton, sophomore Bruce Arensen, Simon Calcutt ’09,
as well as Rachel’s parents, Andy and Annette Batzer.
This year’s challenge was particularly challenging. Their troubles began in
the summer, four months prior to the WSC. After three days of successful road
testing, including a day at platinum sponsor 3M’s test track and on the
highway in Iowa, SEVT’s vehicle _Chopper del Sol _crashed. While the driver
