Team Objective: To build a wind powered vehicle which can travel directly downwind, faster than the wind, powered only by the wind, steady state.
Definitions:
Directly downwind: Vehicle track within +/- 5 degrees of average wind direction.
Faster than the wind: We intend to demonstrate a clear and decisive case -- 1.25x wind speed or more.
Powered only by the wind: Other than the wind blowing during the actual runs, no external source of power of any sort will be utilized.
Steady State: No storage of wind energy before runs. No remote energy capture -- all wind capturing devices must travel with vehicle the entire time
