How do the teams out there with multiple cars manage their competition teams?
For the first time UQ is competing with an IC and EV vehicle and we have been instructed that from a competition perspective we must have two stand alone teams. This is not how we operate, we are a single team with two cars. We would like to use certain team members in both IC and EV design event (schedule permitting) and also use some IC static event competitors as EV drivers.
Is this generally seen as a competitive advantage? We still have to source all our members and drivers from our University.
How does the project management portion of the design event work? Do you discuss both vehicles?
I have contacted the rules committee and have a response but I am very curious about peoples thoughts in general on this subject.
