We are very excited to have a team of ten pupils going to take part in the Greenpower Educational Trust’s electric kitcar competition.
So what does the competition entail?
The team were given three months to design and build an electric vehicle that would go as far as possible in ninety minutes. All teams have the same motor and one pair of 12 volt batteries per race. During the race at least three team members must drive the car, and up to six further members act as pit crew. Other than the motor and batteries you are free to design a car from your own imagination, or as we have done, build one of the fantastic Greenpower kit cars. All cars must follow a set of strict regulations.
Ballyclare Secondary School is extremely proud of the performance of the Kit Car Team but it must be noted that without the support of local business it would not have been possible to compete at such a high level. We are very thankful to our business sponsors who made this project a huge success.
