I've researched many ideas on what the solar car should be constructed out of. I'm currently brainstorming options that would make the car as efficient as possible. For example, I know the solar car must be made out of safe material, therefore while researching I can take into consideration the safest materials. Using the criteria and constraints I was able to create a morphological chart. For the next step, through research I'll be able to choose the best material / objects for each functional part of the design. After I do this I'll be able to move onto finally constructing a detailed drawing for my solar car, which ultimately will lead up to my elevator pitch.
