Amina:
I always watched formula one. And you see the driver driving the final lap, and you see one winner but one thing I learned, was that there's much more than that final lap.

Amina:
Since we have a new team every year, we have to maintain the knowledge.

Maintain the knowledge
Amina:
And we do that by having a big database. We document everything we do.

Document everything
And when we have a new team, the team comes, uh we will have to give our information. They will come with us for a few days, maybe even weeks. And after that, it's their project, but we do have board of advisors, all Alumni from Green Team Twente. And they help us whenever we have a problem.

At the beginning of the year you created a car and then you have a very nice vision and you have an idea of how you want the car to be. But you need resources.

Amina:
Do we have enough money for this year? Do you have to find new sponsors? And if you find them, what will you provide them? What's the trade you're going to make and how are you going to maintain the sponsors you have? So that's something you learn as well.
