25.01.2022 With the COVID restrictions beginning to subside in QLD, we are looking forward to having our meetings in person again. We also like to thank our sponsors Clenergy, Laser Central & Integral for their ongoing support. #SolarCar #Engineering #SolarFamily #LaserCentral #Clenergy #IntegralTech

24.01.2022 We'd like to introduce the newest member of our team - PVC PAT! Pat joined the team because he loves sitting in solar cars and happens to be the perfect size to ensure we're building in line with regulations Are you keen to join our team too? Let us know by filling in this form https://bit.ly/37XiV9t ... #SolarCar #Engineering #Design #BWSC21

24.01.2022 Yep, they were definitely memorable moments!

22.01.2022 They say you learn something new every day! Today some new team members learnt how to remove a wheel from a solar car! #SolarCar #Mechanical #Engineering #Arrow1 #LifeSkills

21.01.2022 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! We'd like to say a massive thank you to all the mum's that have supported our team over the years! You all rock, and we couldn't do this without you! Have a great day! #SolarFamily #Arrow1 #Engineering

19.01.2022 Welcome to our workshop where our team has spent many hundreds of hours creating solar cars, and developing new technologies in the process #SolarCar #SolarFamily #Engineering

19.01.2022 #BWSC19 Flashback! The earliest start at the track for us yet, where our very own #Arrow1 stood alongside most of the women involved in the #BWSC19 teams, as we celebrated the UN’s International Day of the Girl! #SolarCar #Engineering #SolarChallenge #dayofthegirl #idg #womenintech #womenintech

19.01.2022 As part of her thesis project, one of our team members has been busy over the past year designing a car seat tailored to the needs of our solar car drivers. Zara has done an amazing job reinventing an often overlooked component of a solar car and we're keen to see the seat in action! #SolarCars #QUTDesignFestival #QUTDesign #Industrialdesign #Engineering QUT (Queensland University of Technology)

19.01.2022 Thank you to Northshore for providing such a great space for us to meet and work in each week! From the car work shop, to our meeting room, we have all the spaces we need to see the design and build process through! Tonight our team split into mechanical, electrical, and software groups to flesh out the key systems of the car. #Arrow3 #Electrical #Mechanical #Software #Engineering #SolarCar #WatchThisSpace

19.01.2022 That feeling when you've just been driving a car powered by the sun #SolarCar #GreenEnergy #WhyGoSolar #Engineering

18.01.2022 #BWSC19 Flashback! This was an eventful night for the electrical team. A third of our solar array stopped generating power in the afternoon after the car had to drive off-road for a stretch. They determined that the problem was caused by a small screw coming loose on one of the MPPTs and shorting some of the circuitry. The problem was fixed and so were all the screws so that it wouldn't happen again. #SolarCar #Engineering #SolarChallenge #Arrow1 #RoadTrip #AussieAussieAussie #Outback #Solar #Challenge #Electrical #ProblemSolving

18.01.2022 Congratulations Prohelion! We can confirm these guys make great, compact, and safe batteries!

18.01.2022 Laser Central is a 100% Australian, family-owned innovative and creative metal processing company

18.01.2022 We highly recommend checking this out if you use CANbus Congratulations Prohelion on the official release!

18.01.2022 #BWSC19 Flashback! Midday team meetings in Darwin are infinitely better in aircon!

17.01.2022 This is our electrical & software teams meeting together. They're discussing the subsystems and timelines for our next car #Arrow3! (It may have a different name, but we'll go with Arrow3 for now ) #SolarCar #Engineering #Meetings #Electrical #Software

16.01.2022 The 2020 Queensland Student Shootout is currently underway! Come on out to Queensland Raceways to see what the QLD FSAE teams have been up to. We'll even have our very own #Arrow1 solar car on display tomorrow Check out the website for the event schedule and more details

16.01.2022 You can't have a solar car without an advanced electrical system, and thanks to our sponsors Altium we have the tools to design just that. There are a number of small circuit boards hidden around the car which perform various tasks from controlling indicators to calculating cruise control speeds. Altium has enabled us to make the circuits small and efficient. #SolarCar #Engineering #CircuitDesign #ElectricalEngineering #Electrical #PCB #Solar

15.01.2022 #BWSC19 Flashback! This was our work area at the Hidden Valley Raceway for the week we were in Darwin. The team was quick to setup and get straight to work on the car. #SolarCar #Arrow1 #Engineering

15.01.2022 #BWSC19 Flashback! Not gonna lie, our whole team was just dying to see @topdutchsolarracing's solar car up close; this was when our chance came!
