Hello All,
I need to do some Benchmarking for my Senior Design project. I would like to know some typical weights of the hubs rotors, and uprights from other FSAE teams. Our un-sprung weight for...
WMU will not host Shoot-out. However we invite all teams in the area to attend the SCCA event the 4th of September.

Thanks for the help McGill_Man. Now when I get time I'll rebuild my assembly
I want to use Pro-E mechanism to analyse our suspension. Has anyone had luck doing this? As of right now I'm not sure how to get this tool to do some basic simulations. Is this just the learning...

Well I'm going to try to shoot for the labor day weekdend then. Please let me know if that will be an issue.
It would be day one testing and tuning and day two the auto crossing event. That SCCA will assist us in running.
Hello all,
We are working on the details of WMU FSAE shootout event. I have a couple of questions.
1. Is labor day weekdend a bad weekend to run this event?
2. How does this structure sound:...
Good Point. Thanks for the comment.
Heat generation is an energy issue not a function of how many rotors you have. If you have one brake rotor doing all of the rear braking vs two rear brakes doing the braking the energy into the...
The biggest thing is that the system works together. Doing inboard brakes looks just as challenging as outboard brakes. I think we have more to win with inboard Less unsprung weight. Weight close to...
Greg,
What are the tangible benifits of running dual inboard brake with a limited slip diff? From what I understand the diff is going to try to drive both wheels at about the same torque so If I...
Thanks, your comments have helped me make a decision. I think I might piss a person off but I'm going to do it anyway.

I depends on what you calculated your wheel end torques to be with weight transfer. I will advise that you will have different free travel on from the front and rear M/C's because the running...
How does the idea of a Relay event sound. Obviously it would have to be safe and all that but We could have teams partner up and run through the events in a relay form.
FSAE alumni will also be invited. I will take this interest to the executive committee and see how they want to progress.
What suggestions do you have for what type of shootout to have?
Does...
Hello All,

Just in case someone is lazy and just wants to know the answer to the camera question. They will allow us to use our cameras.
Sorry about the spelling error. I work for the Robert Bosch Corporation as an Engineering Intern and yes that PDF is a great example. I wonder if I could purchase one just for fun.
What kind of innovations do teams see in the wild world of fastning things to the frame?
