A graceful degradation strategy would have prevented that.
A power violation was indeed the reason as I was made aware.
No, that's wrong. I have not checked the FS UK rules ammendments, but the kind of failure does not make any difference for scoring. Therefore it is a scoring hiccup in my opinion.
Hi Harry,
in which regard? Please be more specific, otherwise we cannot keep up :)
Is a pool a requirement to become an official competition? I never understood what the point or the requirement is to become an official competition.
You are welcome.
However, I would like to see the other comps catch up with respect to that. It is not too hard, if you are just using a streaming platform.

There is a reason in my opinion that no other competition with a reasonable number of electric entries still has merged classes. Due to the big difference in torque and efficiency, there will always...
@Jasper: You should be able to extract the overall Endurance times of each team form the FSUKLive Twitter channel.
Hi George,
double posting is not a nice move.
However,
there will usually not be the chance to fill your air tank directly on site in Germany, at least no commercial one. But I think that other...
I am attending as E-Scrutineer and also handling the Energy Meters.
Preparations are well underway. Yesterday it was hot, humid and very windy and it will probably stay like this for the entire...
Hi Pat,
I don't know if, in times of all European countries boycotting the Russian government due to the Crimea crisis, any European University would let their team attend the event.
I know that...
I have not followed FS prior 2005, but I remember the 2005 TU Graz car with CFRP monocoque, aero, 4 banger and lots of sophisticated designs and electronics to be one of the pioneers of the...
A rather easy take on the track layout problem is to have one or two cars of the year before at hand. You would then use them to assess your track layout. We do this every year at FSG and it seems to...
I just wanted to add that we also proposed these changes to the global FSAE rules committee in order to have consistent rules in 2015.
Option 5)
Use the gear box and neutral sensor and adjust the time that the solenoid is driven based on the current gear. Moving to PWM increases the resolution and makes you hit neutral consistently...
We have decided to shift both proposed Aero Rules changes to 2015 due to FSAE Rule A2.3 and the respective feedback by the community.
May the re-bashing (bashing because we changed our minds and...
Trevor,
it is not our intention to do this quietly. Otherwise I would not be tweeting it or posting in this forum. The reason that there are no rules available yet is that we are still discussing...
I agree that this would work for an amount N of teams. But what would be done, if more than this number N of teams needs a scrutineer visiting them? Sorry, I am still not convinced. Regarding the...
No worries Bob, I have already adapted to getting the heat for official decisions or decisions of committees I am part of. I am just trying to provide insight and also act as a lightning rod. I have...
First of all, I personally understand your frustration and I also totally agree that these changes came out very late.
I also agree with the points about fire being the most underestimated danger...
Sorry, but you are totally wrong!
Competitions won by 4cyl this year:
Italy 2013, Spain 2013, Austria 2013 (Stuttgart 3rd, but best combustion), Hungary 2013, UK2013 (Stuttgart 3rd, but best...
Some Aero teams might feel personally attacked, but the intention is not to ban or restrict aero. I know of only one team mounting aero to unsprung mass at FSG for example, so the effect on most of...
