Meet Sal

Our team's pride and joy for the year 2022
Designed with reliability in mind

Sal is short for Salvage! This car is 80% recycled from our previous car Leo. A new frame and seat were added. Sal is also the team's first car that is 4 wheel-drive. Sal has now competed in the 2022 Tenessee Tech competition and the 2023 Oshkosh competition. We are continuously upgrading and plan to take Sal to the next 2024 SAE competition.

  • Consumer appeal

  • Minimization of construction expense

  • Ability to navigate difficult terrain

  • Resilient design that can overcome tough challenges
