View Full Version : Lunar Buggy
I didn't want to let this go by without mention. NDSU's engineers won NASA's 10th Annual Great Moonbuggy Race.
I would love engineering to become a spectator sport.
I think that it got some mention in the Fargo paper but here's another article: Huntsville Times Report (http://www.al.com/news/huntsvilletimes/index.ssf?/xml/story.ssf/html_standard.xsl?/base/news/105022548261230.xml)
Now that the moon buggy race is done, this must mean that it's just about solar race car season.

I can't believe I have to go another 12 months until lunar buggy season starts again. This is so depressing.

Don't fret, isn't concrete canoe season here, or did I miss it?

It appears NDSU Engineering is going DI. A group of students is currently working on a "project" to appear on BattleBots.

I recently talked to one of the Solar Car engineering students. He says their car is 30% lighter than the last solar car. They're expecting to do better than before.
Last year, when the had that solar car in front of the Fabulous Fargo Dome it drew a nice crowd.

It got about 4 sentences in the Fargo Forum. I don't understate why they don't talk up the engineering program more, they truely deserve it. Well done! ;D ;D
Here's a longer story about it:

Thanks Tony for that post. I'm pretty proud of SU Engineering.
Not sure which cable stations showed it but NDSU was on TechTV's Tech Live show for this. Dang me for not having TIVO! I think it's on one more time at 1:00 PM Eastern, Noon Central.
