Team asking where we can display projects long term
Short answer: no
Long answer: the space will fill up
One exception: the solar car is displayed because it set a world record
rocketry wants to hang rockets from ceiling
some other universities have teams that sell their solar cars so that other teams can run them at competitions.
Seems to be a lot of interest from teams in storage/display in other places on campus as well for past competition projects.
varies team by team, some teams completely destroy their past vehicles, others use it for future comps
dean has a photo competition, could submit photos of our stuff for that
