MIT PhD tyro Lennon Rodgers and his group of colleagues was amid the 32 teams who entered this year's all-electric race, bringing their custom-designed eSuperbike to the important contest on the tiny island located between Ireland and Great Britain.

The smarts of the bike are housed in an Arduino route board, that monitors information inclusive the amount of appetite used and the temperatures of any engine and battery.
