Resolving issues

At an intersection. Arizona on the side of the road changing a tire.
This was a common occurence during the event for all teams.

Stanford had an unfortunate accident where their battery pack started to smoke dramatically. They pulled over to the road side immediately and pulled out the battery pack. They sprayed a fire extinguisher through the battery pack's vent, and then opened the battery pack and dumped dry ground dolomite, a smothering agent, on the battery modules inside.

Salvaging the battery pack

The dead battery module.

Stanford trailered their car to the next checkpoint and continued working on their car.
