Your calculations are wrong, you would have a higher pedal force at higher acceleration.
Why do you want a 50/50 brake bias?
Make an X-Y plot of "ideal" front/rear pressures at different...

I doubt these teams are paying Bosch daily rates to use the facilities. Why not reach out to local suppliers with test track access to see if they're willing to sponsor? Or companies with large...
Just a clarification that the 25th is the correct date for Claude's presentation, but that is a Wednesday, not a Tuesday.
This is referring to the drivers shoulder height. Just use google images to look at other FSAE cars. You'll quickly see that all master kill switches are located right behind the main roll hoop...
If that data if from the TTC (even if it's processed elsewhere) you'll want to take that picture down from here. This discussion is better suited for the TTC forums, you are not allowed to share...
Figured it's about that time to make the thread.
Too early to nail down the weather predictions, but if everything holds it won't be as bad as it has in the past:...
This discussion falls under two different aspects, engineering and competition. For obvious reasons, a fully designed, manufactured, tested, correlated car will net the most engineering experience....
Rules should be fine. It's up to you to figure out if it's structurally fine. What are your tie rod loads? Do you know both your mechanical trail and your pneumatic trail? What's your target max...
This is a question you should submit to the rules committee, not here. If someone here says, you're good to go, and someone notices in tech inspection that your frame is different from your SES,...
This. Buy stock at the proper OD, get a good carbide drill that's slightly undersized, and a good reamer to make a 0.000" press, but ream after welding. Then a countersink bit and some kind of...
FSAE car on 17's...

For a first year FSAE team, it'd be extremely beneficial to make an ergonomics mock chassis. We used a piece of plywood that we could lay at different angles for the driver position, then a mock...
The rule really should say that protection from the exhaust is needed if it's forward of the headrest plane. Because our roll hoop bent forward in previous years, and we tried to argue that the...
Kettering is in need of a Festo DSNU-25-25-p-a pneumatic cylinder. If anyone has a cylinder to ship or bring to Lincoln, please let me know.
Thanks!
How did you get a hold of our 2015 concept drawing?!?!
:P
How's the registration list looking? On to the wait list?
While I can't say for sure, I could guess around 90-95 kph. I know I never got into 4th gear, but I'm not sure how close I got to the limiter in 3rd (which would be 95 kph). When I review our...
As a driver for a very yaw happy non-aero car I should be arguing to slow the course down, but I didn't think the courses were fast at all. They seemed to be very well suited for these cars. ...
Kettering has this playlist blasting in our truck on the way to Lincoln!
Weather still looks decent, 80's-90's with a small chance of rain spread out.
The spirit of SAE!
As mentioned previously, why only mention aero when talking about teams copying others designs? I agree that something needs to be done to try to force a more ground up design approach, but limiting...
What problems are you facing? What design work have you done so far?
What doubts do you have about mounting them?
Also, in your quest to learning brake design, go ahead and make a design spreadsheet. You will learn that it's possible to get the same braking force with different size master cylinders and caliper...
