"FCU Unicorn" the electrical car team formed by students from Department of Aerospace and System Engineering, attended the 2nd NCKU Racing Competition 2019. They won the first place in “Route 1,” and ranked third in “Route 3,” with the overall result winning the second prize of the NCKU Racing Competition.

Ding-Chi, Huang, the captain of the FCU Unicorn stated, “It’s not easy building an electrical car. We were constantly pursuing for a precise steering system, seeking for an acceleration that enhances the fluency and stability, and even overcame the difficulties and built the body shell using carbon fiber. We are glad that we got a pretty good result today.”

However, Huang also mentioned, “We have encountered challenges one after another, for example, funding, sponsorship and the location of construction and technical level. And probably because we were just freshman, we were up against a wall when we took our proposal to the vendors trying to raise fund for our project. Finally, with our passion and persistence, we were recognized, supported and sponsored by the vendors. Besides all the effort, we also appreciate our teachers and the seniors for the support and encouragement.” The director of the department noted, “It is a challenge for freshmen to build up a team and participate in the competition for first time, but their outcome is commendable. They tried their best preparing before the competition and flexed their muscle during the competition. Winning or losing the game is not the point after all. Throughout the whole process, they learnt to help each other as a team and understood the sportsmanship which every one should respect each other even if we are all competitors. This is really a valuable experience for the students.”
