As we have continued to say in our feedback and in the surveys, this increased complexity in the rules benefits the teams with bigger resources and disadvantages smaller teams. I agree with what...
Agreed on the problem with measuring the plenum volume. Any real measurement is going to be a pain and take a lot more time, any "measurement" without removal of the intake it going to be too...
FSAE has just released another survey, this time for the engine displacement rules. The survey can be found on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FormulaSAE. A direct link to the survey...
Thanks for sharing these photos Randy, there are a lot of great shots there!
The FSG rules committee has released some new rules changes:

T15.13 Efficiency – The efficiency event is being reviewed to determine whether the influence of lap time on

"Can you imagine how much downforce you'd get from a black hole!?"
FSG has just posted a video of the presentation being given: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYAEn52-8o8&feature=youtu.be. This was not announced on the FSG homepage, but it can be found when you log...
I agree with the previously expressed statements that these rules do a poor job addressing the real safety concerns of FS/FSAE and artificially restrict vehicle design in unnecessary ways.

When teaching new students CAD:
You know it's bad when CATIA is saying "You should reconsider your design"

Putting GFR is any word we can. It started with GFRiends, but we also use GFRarty and GFR-bq.

"I need more t-shirts, all of mine have formula all...
I would have liked more time to give feedback on the proposed wording. Bill Riley posted on the 14th and we at GFR started discussing immediately, but it's hard to get unified feedback if the final...
Z, what is your reasoning for skipping anti roll bars? If you can package them in the design phase, they are a much more convenient way to adjust balance than springs which will usually require...
We use the AP CP4226 calipers with an M10x1.0 to AN-3 male-male adapter. The holes in the caliper are not very deep, we have to shorten the adapters and seal on the surface of the caliper with a...
Final countdown, Highway to the Dangerzone, disney songs, Bloodhound Gang, Jon Lajoie, and cooking by the book.
Best played after 1 am.
Otherwise dubstep and bad 80s are good choices.

I would be surprised if they meant it in any way other than rigid (but at what amount of deflection at what load is acceptable? http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif)
In my mind, without rear pivoting master cylinders (MC), every time you apply the brakes the pushrods are being bent slightly, leading to increased friction in the seals and (i would expect) less...
I'd heard of this too, but only in passing in materials science textbooks. I'd be really interested to hear more about it as well, as I would expect anodizing to have no effect or a slight increase...
