Z/Claude Course design at it's finest!

All kidding aside, Z, if you can put it out there like you suggest, then it's not really an issue. The thing...

Claude,

I think you're missing the point. There is a balance between technical design, marketing, setup, and driver skill to name a few. All of these play a very important role in a successful...

Claude and/or Z,

How do you consolidate the push for teams with good drivers with the idea of FSAE as an engineering showcase?

3 tight 180* turns take only one misjudgment by a driver on entry...

Thanks, mdavis!

Kaley, I appreciate all your hard work to keep eveyone informed! Someone's got to feed the ravenous alumni!

I'll second the mention of UNT. They came to the Texas SAE Student...

Anybody have a picture of the overall results, with the points?

You mean no one mentioned Aircraft Spruce for 4130 tubing? Never been able to get roll bar padding from somewhere like Speedway Motors?

As far as $750 for a Torsen differential, many teams pay...

Julian, some of the problem is the ambiguity in how the rules are applied at competition vs. what you see when you are preparing a report, especially "new" teams.

In the case of rules compliance...

How much grip can you develop with your tires?

I've used a 5g load case of the unsprung mass for bumps combined with a conservative lateral/longitudinal loading.

Missouri S&T DOMINATED autocross by a second over the next car. RIT got their car fixed and ran just in time, getting 3rd in autocross. A&M got 5th, the fastest non-wing car, but trailing around 3...

Texas A&M, UTA, U Washington, Kansas, McGill, Missouri S&T, Michigan State, and one other I did not quite catch among the screams of excitement in our pits.

That may be wrong, but that's my best...

Do you not feel that this is already covered by A 4.2, where all team members must be degree-seeking graduate or undergraduate students (or graduated within the past 7 months)? The driver would have...

At A&M, we do as much as we can to get the best drivers in our cars, and we hold driver tryouts to find the best fit for us. We had narrowed it down to 8 people to try out for 2 spots for autocross...

What's the highest price point, for, say a batch of 10 total?

When we have used them, we do have a pair of small aluminum rings the take up the difference on the TTX25 perches. There is no issue with spring to reservoir clearance.

Best money I spent, and it looks like it keeps getting better every time! I wish I could attend.

Steve, for your spring rate range, an option the the Tanner Orange Hot series springs. We've measured them to be pretty accurate for spring rate and come in 5 lb/in increments right in the range you...

As an update, we (Cole and I are on the same team) got our Drexler in last week, but discovered it didn't come with the required seals for the tulips, so we'll be trying it out this sunday.

Any relation the the author?

It's a wonder more of your ideas have not caught on, with such a flowery personality and charm.

Ha, I'm always looking for a smaller tire, must be the tunnel vision!

On another note, softer isn't always the answer. I'd like to see something with more cornering stiffness and a higher grip...

Any idea when they close the voting? I didn't see anything on a cursory glance.

Tickers,

Groan!!! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif I have heard this line so many times before...

People do things in ridiculously complicated ways, and then say "Oh,...

You need to know more details about the motors, like average power, weight, etc.

For batteries, you can look at Hobbyking.com for some quick price comparisons. Some think that using RC cells is a...

A compound that can provide a consistent level of grip though endurance is important, not just that it has some rubber left at the end.

The level of grip that can be provided at near-ambient...
