    We have many Antennas...GPS, Telemetry, and our handi talkies. At the time of the picture the Telemetry was in process and Connor has studying for his ticket.

    BTW. Cost is an issue, always will be, that plus the time involved, I feel, scare so many people away from programs like this.
    It is great to see programs like FIRST robotics be so successful or NASA rocket launch or their Human Exploration Rover Challenge ( which we came from). We are proud to say we are the only High School in Illinois to do this but at the same time we also realize many students are not getting this opportunity, which is sad. The fact that these Student Engineers voted to take on this project in mid year and will transport a car to scrutineering that has a good chance to pass and qualify, made them winners.

    Not to downplay the Engineering designs/concepts, but,............ how can these "vehicles" operate legally on a public highway?

    Ask the Amish ?? The route is along rural highways, and the cars have flashing lights and slow moving vehicle triangle on them. Not to mention the proper authorities have likely signed off, and escort vehicles will follow them as well.
