The Toyota STEM Challenge was a competition to build a buggy powered by one 10F capacitor that can travel 10m three times on a single charge in the fastest possible time. Other points were also awarded for team identity and quality of presentations - indeed, this is why on the poster above we have our "toy yoda". Use of post consumer waste was also very important, so prototypes used cruched cans and wood chips to add to the eccentricity.

Through several iterations of different prototypes, shown below, with very eccentric names, we arrived at the final design shown above, which proved to have an ideal balance between weight, internal friction, wheel traction and linear trajectory. With this buggy and the quality of our project presentations, we won the national finals of the competition.
