Patrick Powers is a senior at the University of New Hampshire, majoring in mechanical engineering. He was one of the seven students who designed UNH's entry this year in NASA's annual "Great Moonbuggy Race." He was also one of the two drivers of the vehicle, which placed second among the competing teams. He talked with John about the buggy that the UNH team built, some of its unusual design elements, and the experience of racing it in the NASA competition.
