　Associate Professor Hiroto Hamane (Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering), the director of the solar team, said, "I was able to overcome difficulties with the students and finish the race safely while solving a number of problems. Due to bad weather, I was able to finish the race several times on the way. In the situation of zero, there was a scene where I ran only with the solar panel, and I realized the strictness of renewable energy again. I am proud that the students solved the problems in front of me one by one and completed it to the end. I think, "he recalled this tournament.
