This contest was highly competitive as we had to made a "car" on our own. That was not a joke.
This car should be large enough to accommodate a driver but small and light enough to save oil. The goal of this competition was to consume the least amount of oil for the car to run though a course 40 times.

| This was the first car we have made |
However, clearly we had missed the point for the first time. We should not care about the speed but the oil consumption. So the second year we did a lot of changes: we lighten the structure, took off the redundant designs, figured out a more efficient way to save oil and change the cover to a pure hand-made bamboo-weaving one.

| the third place overall and the first place in vehicle design |
