Make the hole in the engine a free home and add an o ring to the shaft or end of the shift drum.

See attachment.

I guess my teams 2nd place car at FSAE-M is no good.

Though I do wonder what the weight sensitivity to lap tone is. Maybe we could have been 1st...

2 sold, 4 still up for sale (black set).

The dimension was ~5".

Dropped the prices. Also negotiable.

4 wheels total (black wheels shown in the pictures).

All were bought in 2005 and ran on the University of Florida FSAE car in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2011. They have been sitting in storage since...

Instead of thinking about an autocross style course, think of a skid pad. As long as you have enough power to keep the car moving, how will power affect your performance in a skid pad? Same weight,...

This will be more apparent with high revving engines, but think about the torque curve and why it may be a good idea to spin the wheels so much (for a simple RPM limiting LC system).

And what do FSAE combustion cars lack which makes it difficult to control?

It should be very easy to understand why so many teams spin their rear wheels. Is it the best thing to do? No, but it is...

TUG was moved down to 3rd promoting both UF and GFR 1 spot (GFR still beat UF by 3.3 points).

Once you get past the learning curve of the software, ChassisSim can be a very easy and useful tool for FSAE. Despite the low curvatures of the tracks we run on, ChassisSim is still capable of...

Microsoft Project is an excellent tool to use. You can set tasks, start/end dates (or duration), resources (person or machine), dependencies on other tasks, percent complete, etc... It can then...

A commonly used program is Microsoft Visio to create 2D drawings (honestly, MS paint could work too). Excel can be used to create a list of pinouts. Of course you need to logically plan out that...

Why not operate the solenoid between 0 and 100% (ex: 50% output for a small duration) and see if you can get it into neutral?

Another option is to modify the shift drum. I recently got done...

There was no mention of it. The quote I posted was the entire reply I got. I suspect they will release a rules update, but I don't know when. If here's the best I can do:

It was a reply I received from a rules question I submitted.

No surprise with this, just thought I'd let everyone know that there is no worry with your stock system.

This is the response I got. As far as I know, they didn't attempt to contact Braille and talk about this.

I'm going to make a rules question sometime tonight with the info and direct them to Braille since the contact there offered to talk with the RC about this. If I find anything major out I'll post...

I contacted both Ballistic Performance Components and Braille Battery regarding this topic. Both said their batteries do not meet the rules. The response I got from Braille was more in depth and...

My team has been running a Braille Li-ion battery for 2.5 years now (single battery).

The response I got regarding the separate connectors for ETC sensors. I'm really glad they will allow us to do this because it will help simplify the harness to use a dual output sensor on a single...

I'm silently busy with other things. But I agree, they are too extreme and there are some confusing parts in there that I need clarification on with the rules committee.
