the CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial
Research) was involved in scrutineering
the safety of the solar cars and performed
electrical and battery safety tests. There
was also a schools programme that ran
alongside the event, which was conducted
in partnership with Microbotics, a service
provider that offers robotics, programming
and electronic modules for scholars.
