ASME HPVC (Human Powered Vehicle Challenge) 2014
was held at IIT Delhi. The hosts were IIT and DTU. HPVC was divided into three
events i.e. 1) Design event 2) Drag event 3) Endurance event.
It was the day when our 1st event was “Design event” and the team worked
with full enthusiasm. We explained our design as well as safety measures to
judges and were pretty happy at the end of that day. It was followed by “Drag
race” on the next day and was a spectacular moment for all as we made a record
of speed and were on the top of table. We stayed on the top of the table till 5
rounds but unfortunately lost in the semi final. But we were pretty happy that
our “PINAK” team ended up with 3rd position in drag race.
The alacrity of team members was palpable and the fabulous efforts of
rider’s helped us to secure 2nd position in “Endurance Race”. We
achieved 4th stand in the overall ranking.
Also our riders came up as the protagonists of event. They used to
practice till late nights and that was the only reason for achieving huge
success. Finally we ended up with learning lot of things as well as with lots
of beautiful mesmerizing memories in our hearts. It was a privilege to be a
part of such a blissful team.
