What do you think about some FIRST teams pooling their resources and entering the next DARPA event? What teams would you pick to combine to make an UBER FIRST team to design and build the car.
Just for thought.....
We used to design and build full sized electric vehicles that could do speeds of 100 mph! It was a 1200amp 144volt DC system. It used a DC Raptor 1200 and twin 9 inch Advance DC motors. at 85 hp peak each! We used a 1985 Pontiac Fiero for the chassis and that sucker peeled out in third gear! The car was built for speed and handling not range but it did get 7o miles on a charge, we had three sets of 12 batteries. Optima Yellow tops! If any boddy want to team up with us we got the car stuff down. We could be the first electric powered autonomous car! Any takers?
here are some of the cars we built
