Team Polar #2048antarctica

This film/ expedition stills amaze me! When it comes to technical design, it is maybe not state of the art, but they did it! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynBBA9YWTl4)

I researching for this video again for Team Polar. 12 TU/e students. Together we are building a solar vehicle, the 'Solar Rover', for the 3rd time;-) But this time it's more than just a solar car. This time the ambition is to build a full automonous research vehicle for Antarctica, Terra Incognita.

The aim is to make the world smarter and thus sharing knowledge! As long as we don't dare to share knowledge out of fear, the world will not get any better. But the persistence wins and I can't wait for us to do our first autonomous research in Antarctica. There are still so many places where men has never been on Antarctica. That is what we call it 'beyond expedition'.

Situated in the epicenter of Brainport, Eindhoven, Europe’s emerging silicon valley described by Forbes as the most inventive city in the world; TU/e student teams are on the cutting edge of impactful innovation. The TU/e’s challenge based learning approach has distilled the most pioneering of students into Student Teams; whose persistent dedication has led to disruptive innovative businesses, such as Lightyear, Tailor and SPIKE. Team POLAR is on the path to join the ranks of such companies.
