It is my understanding that, to date, the Human-Powered Helicopter team has not been able to successfully lift off the ground. The Solar Car Team has won 3 of 7 national races, and has placed 3rd internationally several times. We have also built 7 functional solar-powered cars. We have to raise all of our money in-house (the University does not provide us with significant funding), and we have put in the time and effort to recruit a large group of members to meet that challenge. A bit more effort in recruiting and organization and your student group can also be successful. Thanks.
