In the summer of 2005 in the SciencWiz summer camp we built an experimental Human/Electric/Solar Hybrid vehicle .which the students named Hell Yes! As it was our first attempt at such a vehicle there were a number of features which might have been classified as bugs by a reasonably unbiased observer.
Nonetheless the day before the "How Berkeley Can You Be?" parade our beloved, Hell Yes!, was stolen by the vast Enron-Shell-Diebold-Opec-Global-Climate-Coalition conspiracy in order to foil our attempts to teach young minds that solar vehicles are indeed practical, or at least fun to build. Despite the far-fetched nature of that particular conspiracy theory, we now offer a Solar Car Camp to more mechanically inclined, and older, students.
The new camps' goal is not only to build a vehicle, but a vehicle that combines solar with human power. The possibilities are endless with our new supply of pancake motors, pic processors, and random bicycle parts. We provide the parts, you provide the mind.
