This page should discuss who/which other team to talk to for specific projects and/or information. In this team, more so than others, it is often necessary to communicate between many different subteams (even electrical) to finish a project. Discuss how the th...

Lay the groundwork for the manufacturing year for Car 5

In each project, regs should be outlined. this page, however, will give an overview on the regs so everyone on the team are aware of the design constraints that must be met. 

Give an introduction of the team, what it encompasses, critical changes between cars, typical design cycles, and how the team is structured. Give a brief overview of each of the components (their respective pages will go more in depth)

Overview of braking components, their dependencies, and all the calculations. 

Can discuss some of the calculations, but that should be reserved for the previous page. Discuss how the desired pedal ratio was achieved, how it should feel next to the throttle, manufacturing, CAM, and other design choices made in its development. 

Discuss the wheel assembly and how suspension and brakes interact (e.g., with spacing, mounting, assembly, behavior during braking, etc.). Discuss spacing for calipers, caliper selection, rotor design, caliper placement, manufacturing, and anything that future...

Discuss car 4, car 4.5, and car 5 parking brake designs. Give an iterative process on how we are improving the design for each new assembly. Discuss design, manufacturing, assembly, tuning, and integration into the car. 

Discuss body hinge process from car 3 --> car 4 --> car 4.5 --> car 5.  Will need bragg to take on the car 3 --> car 4 role. Discuss mounting, linkages/rods, failures, manufacturing, and how lengths and locations were selected.  We also should discuss the te...

car 3 --> car 4 --> car 5 latches need to be discussed. The discussion does not need to be long; however, it should be a qualitative analysis of each hinge, their actuation, and their effectiveness. 

Recent Integration team for car 4.5 and those on car 5 hinge need to work together to discuss procedure in which canopy should hinge & latch. Pictures, discussions, and iterations between cars should be used. Concept images, pros/cons, etc. should be used to c...

Discuss design, regs, and manufacturing. Include how the design was conceptualized around chassis and roll cage. Show the seat with ballast locations, parking brake, electrical, and model driver. During manufacturing, show images & manufacturing process. 

Use the thesis for steering wheel as a groundwork for this section. 

discuss housing and mounting --> the requirements, designs, boards (e.g., front vcu, rear vcu, telemetry, etc.). Any product/design testing should be put here. Images of old mounts, new mounts and design ideas/implementation should be addressed. 

Discuss the old layout, the problems with said layout and the new layout when it is created. Once implemented, the realized electrical integration should be put here. 

This page should address the things every cockpit member should know about the car when it comes to any testing day and especially those at comp (may include adjusting parking brake, bleeding lines, why we SHOULDNT sand brake pads on a rotary sander in your la...
