Star-Ledger Article. Electric Blue was on the front page of the County section in today's Star-Ledger. An online version of the article has been placed in our archives.

New Solar Panel. Today we visited AstroPower in Newark, Delaware to pick up a solar panel capable of producing up to 100 watts of electricity in direct sun light. The electricity generated by the solar panel will be added to the battery pack for Electric Blue. Our team members at Woodbury High School, in Woodbury, Gloucester County, New Jersey made the contacts with AstroPower. This ties into the technology education program they have been conducting this year with NASA's "classroom of the future" program and the student's efforts to develop an electric powered vehicle that uses solar cells.

New tires. Goodyear has donated low rolling resistance tires and they arrived today. The tires were put on immediately and the entire truck looks better for it. The ride is improved tremendously by these tires. Thanks Goodyear.
