Solar Gators has nearly reached 10 years of dedicated work after being re-founded in 2016 by a small group of passionate engineering students that were determined to compete in FSGP the following year. Through lots of hard work, our first team went to competition with the first ever Solar Gators solar car, Torch, in 2017. For the following two year, we participated in the competition with modified versions of our first car, which was named Cielo, however the transition to our third car was impeded by the rise of the pandemic pushing the debut of our third ever solar vehicle, Sunrider, to the competition in 2022. Using what we learned in the 2022 competition, we continued to improve Sunrider for the 2023 FSGP, and our hard work paid off when we placed first! That was the first podium placement in the history of Solar Gators. In 2024 we continued working to improve our third car and raced Sunrider for the last time, qualifying for and competing in the first ASC in our team’s history. We are excited to continue growing as a team and debut our fourth car, Flare, at FSGP this year!
