Welcome!
We are the Olin College of Engineering Human Powered Vehicles Team. Each year, we design, build, and race a vehicle at ASME's Human Powered Vehicle Challenge. We strive for a fast and efficient vehicle, and we design so that ALL of our riders can comfortably ride the vehicle.
General Meetings are every Wednesday at 7pm in AC113. Work Time is at 2-4 on Tuesdays and 3-5 on Fridays.
Shadowfax about to cross IMS's legendary Brickyard during the 2011 Sprint Event.In the 2011 competition we had our best showing yet, sweeping the speed class event, which was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and hosted by Rose Hullman University.

We're making good progress towards deciding on our course for the year. This past Friday we took apart and weighed Shadowfax with our new members, and this week we'll be settling into sub-teams and beginning our design and build process!
