Principia College is a small school in southern Illinois, with a Christian bent to it. They lack an engineering school, but entered Sunrayce nonetheless, and have continually improved with every passing event.
My alma mater (Iowa State) developed a close relationship with them. During Sunrayce 95, they blew out their only motor, effectively ending the race. We had a spare motor, and loaned it to them (at some risk to our own project). They were very grateful, and gave us a fruit basket at the finish line. The next year, when our team had a catastrophic pre-race accident, Principia helped us out.
Their polo shirts are pretty awesome.
