Yup, 66.5 in sales, 12th out of 58 teams. 50 in cost, 70 points in design and their best acceleration so far is 3.925 seconds.

Just getting sporatic reports from the '07 project supervisor who is out there with them and expecting a full report this evening/tomorrow morning via email, so will update.

Chalmers got their engine running and had a blazing fast car.
They had FTD for a while in accel.

Michigan State ended up with the fastest time of day for the acceleration event (3.8xx seconds).
I'll try to post pictures of the score sheets.

The announcement van at autocross said:
1. Texas A&M
2. Oklahoma
3. ?
4. U of Washington
(That's from the van and from memory = very unofficial)

I heard Design Final Teams were:
BYU, Auburn, can't remember the other 3(?)

I have a ton of pictures - might not be able to post them for a day or two...

I hear Michigan state is in design finals, won accel and autocross, unofficial of course

[Chris Allbee]

Design Finals:

Auburn
Oklahoma
BYU
Michigan State

Michigan won accel
Texas A&M won AutoX

I'm unsure about skid pad (except that Oklahoma got 3rd)

Here's some of my pictures here, not the best ones I took, but the ones that have something cool going on (tirelift!!!) The accel and skidpad results are also in there.

Does anyone feel like filming enduro and sticking it on youtube?

[Dan G]

Here's my shots from today. Sorry they suck, I wasn't in the picture taking zone today. Most of the shots are out of focus or have vignetting from me not zooming in tight enough through the teleconverter. Tomorrow's should be better.

What is going on under the front of Kansas's car? Looks like some rowdy hydraulics?
