Bamboo Chassis : Super Mileage Vehicle

A little bit blast from the past.

An alumni from our college , Shweta Rawat had an amazing idea of making a super mileage vehicle with Bamboo Chassis. And that's what her team did for her. This is one of my very first projects.
6 months of designing and fabrication. It was indeed a big challenge for us. But our efforts eventually got us huge recognition.
 The vehicle cleared all the technical inspections and the design was approved by Shell Eco Marathon , Asia Team 2013.
Bamboo Chassis got selected as top 24 innovations of the country for the year 2013 , by ET NOW (Power of Shunya )
 We were the only all the girls team to be a part of  Shell Eco Marathon, Asia . Also we made Asia's first Bamboo Chassis to be used in any super mileage vehicle.
 And then people say its crazy if a woman chooses mechanical engineering as a career.
