The Michigan State University Solar Car team has been hard at work trying to finish designing and building their solar car, Brasi-dius, in time for the North American Solar Challenge in July. The Challenge is a 10-day, 2,400-mile race from Dallas to Calgary, Alberta. In 2001, the team registered to compete in the race but had to withdrawal themselves after finding that the frame they had built was defective. With Dr. Norbert Mueller as the group's advisor, the 20 active members work in the expanding field of environmentally friendly energy. Bringing Brasi-dius to the race will be a great accomplishment for a team who has yet to build a working solar car.
