That's Caltech's story. Here's an account from the MIT perspective. http://books.google.com/books?id=FNQDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA526&dq=across%20the%20usa %20with%20mit%27s&as_pt=MAGAZINES&pg=PA526#v=onepage&q&f=false http://tinyurl.com/m4xcd7z I remember all the news reports about this event. It was quite a curiosity, and media were less driven by profit and corporate goals, so it got plenty of coverage. Much of the coverage was relatively favorable, although it tended to be along the lines of "Look at these crazy kids! Eh, don't try this at home." But I'd forgotten - if I ever knew - that the MIT crew had had to bail on the BLDC motor, and use a conventional brushed DC motor.
