Challenges
The three youths did not go to the completion of the model, but they were faced with problems that almost hit their plans.
Among the obstacles, Baz explains that it was a lack of batteries, so they had to buy a replacement at a double price and a slightly different specification, forcing them to modify the model.
The team presented the project model during the first presentation of the London International competition, to harvest the first place and qualify for the regional level, "but their ambition to complete the journey collided with the gate of the Rafah crossing then closed."

Baz says: After a while we found that there is a phase called Wildcard which is part of the contest, allowing the team to participate again via the Internet, by displaying the idea in a Detailed photographer.
We have submitted the project, fortunately, we have again succeeded in being among the top 10 projects to qualify for direct competition in the finals.
