And the CHAMPION of SEVC is team VCET Solecthon!

Part 2

Now that I knew, which vehicle would i be taking. I needed to know what changes were demanded in it. 

The same vehicle that we took to NSVC 2020, the same vehicle which won the national champions title, the same vehicle which has got a soul in it.

Yes, 3.0 has a soul, which craves to be different from all!

Now that I knew which vehicle? I hurdled whether the rulebook would satisfy the specs. And heavens above it did! And at few points where it didn't, we made the needed changes. Now i was sure 3.1 has a station stop of it's destiny at SEVC. 

We soon began with planning and enhancing our vehicle 3.0 to 3.1 

Built in 2019, 3.0 has endured alot of extremes. Soon enough we found ourselves immersed in enhancing our vehicle and buckling up for SEVC. 

Frequent meetings, urgent fund raising, work distribution, refurbishing components, preparing reports and gearing up to virtuals.

An entire month's time elapsed. We soon were to appear for rulebook test and virtual presentation. On July 31st we cleared the rulebook and virtual rounds too!

There was a time I remember, when I got up, packed my bag and left for the workshop. The next moment I remember is when I found myself relax was at midnight 2am. What goes through the day can't be easily expressed in words because it is sheer flow of passion. This story isn't just mine. This is the story of all the members. This is the same schedule that we all follow, seeing just 1 goal!

Soon it was August and i looked at my love, still under improvements, bare chassis, brakes on bleed, motor yet to be connected, bodyworks still to be painted.. 

She told me "Shall we win this again? Please"
