Solar Boat Presentation and Solar Boat Race was held at 10 am and 12.30 pm respectively on 19 September 2011. Right now, we only have news for Solar Boat Race and now we would like to share it with everyone.
_______________________________________________________
We did a few test runs at the pond (the official competition pond @ Ma’Daerah) before the race starts. During this test runs with other participants, most of them felt that this boat could be the champion because it shows great aerodynamic surface and very good speed. Plus, our boat only take 7 seconds to reach the end of the track. However, it is just a test-run.
12.30pm, thankfully it was a very sunny day. Therefore, during the 1st round, our boat could speed up and end the 4 meter long race although it can’t start during the first-trial. Our boat qualified to second round.
Unfortunately, due to ‘guide-wire’ problem and uneven water surface , our boat did speed well but it suddenly stopped in the middle of the race the during the 2nd round. Therefore, SMK Sri Permata’s boat didn’t qualify to the third round, so our boat only managed to achieve Top 8 out of 10 boats after a tough race.
At 1.30 pm, the race is over and the fastest boat goes to SM Sains Selangor. Congratulations!
*p/s- To all readers, stay-tuned to this blog, we will announce the BP MyScience 2011′s overall winner here soon right after we received the news for prize giving ceremony at Ma’Daerah.
