Today, we’re looking back on Year 4 one frame at a time.

Each moment captured reflects the work behind the build: challenges solved, lessons learned, and steady progress toward a competition-ready vehicle. From early development to final integration, this year has been defined by growth, resilience, and ex*****on.

Every step has moved us closer to competition, and we’re proud of what this team has accomplished. The work isn’t finished yet, so stay with us as we make the final push.

Continuing our journey to competition, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at VTI, one of the most important parts of the year.

VTI is where months of design, testing, and teamwork come together to ensure our vehicle is safe, compliant, and ready to perform. It’s a true reflection of the dedication our team brings every day, from late nights in the shop to final checks before competition.

Every adjustment and system review moves us one step closer to Milford. We’re proud of the work our students have put in and excited for what’s ahead. Stay tuned as we continue the final push!

After an incredible run over the last 12 years, our team will continue competing in the EcoCAR Innovation Challenge on the General Motors track. It’s the perfect way to recap the end of one challenge while accelerating into the next.
