Great news from the field here in Denmark. We have had the vehicle moving from purely wind power for the first time. Granted it didn't move far (around a foot) but given the low wind speeds we were beside ourselves.
The team is getting excited as our first race is due to start in thirty minutes. We are going to attempt the first series of races with the throttle under manual control. That is to say that Susan, our wonderful driver, will be adjusting the throttle based on turbine speeds to keep them at optimum speed. If all goes well, we'll move onto the electronically controlled system tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed...
More when we're ready to start. Pictures coming soon......
