FLEAA Folks, You may be interested in the results of this year's Florida Tech Project Showcase awards. The President's Cup for Best of Show went to Performance Hybrid Racing, an SAE formula car modified to run on Hybrid (Gasoline and electric) power. This was the follow-on project to the Racing Electric Vehicle from last year. This vehicle looks similar, but REV was saved and still exists. Note the scope of the other projects as well, a tribute to the engineering design process. Frank Leslie
