End of the ride
A welcome home celebration for Iowa State's Team PrISUm was held Aug. 1 at
the team's garage in Sweeney. The team recently raced its PrISUm Odyssey
solar car in the American Solar Challenge, finishing 16th in a field of 30
cars. The car finished the 2,300 mile trip from Chicago to Los Angeles in 92
hours and 39 minutes. Along the way, the team won the Teamwork Award for the
second stage of the race (Rolla, Mo., to Barstow, Calif.), an Artistic
Design Award for the design and paint job of the car, and a third place
award in Engineering Innovation for its use of advanced battery technology.
PrISUm Odyssey is the sixth solar car built by Iowa State students.
