Mechanista in G Ep. 295: World Solar Challenge

As Dylan argues on this ep, life on Earth is owed to the sun. So why has it taken us so long to make decent cars that use the sun? Sure, this is terrible logic that doesn’t follow at all. But also I feel like I should own a solar car by now. Well, let’s look at some really impractical ones- solar RACE cars. They’re pretty cool, even if they look like cuts of salmon.

If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar. Our opening theme is the Hangar Theme from Gundam Breaker 3, and our ending theme for this episode is Our Sun from Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand. Boktai is composed by Kazuki Muraoka, Masashi Watanabe, Norihiko Hibino, and Shuichi Kobori collectively- I can’t find credits for individual tracks. Our podcast art is a fantastic piece of work from Twitter artist @fenfelt. Want to see a list of every unit we’ve covered from every episode, including variants and tangents? It’s right here.
