You'd think so...

Claude asked this question in design semis in 2003 and mentioned it at his 2003 and 2004 FSAE seminars.

Denny, how do you determine what constitutes a brake system being stiff enough? It comes down to driver feel, so what you really need to do is test your driver!

I think there should be more concentration on fluids, too. A lot of people are running dot 5 and it's squishy.

For that matter I think he asked every teams that asked him to look at their car in the paddocks. Makes perfects sense now, but like many at the time, we were thinking "WTF?"

Ok, guys, when you're in the design tent and a judge asks you a question, what are you gonna do? laugh and tell them, "you're kidding, right?". I don't think that they have to much time to stand around and bullshit. But, feel free to interpret design questions as jokes, more power to you.

i meant "joke", as in humorous, not stupid

That reminds me of something I read on the StopTech site:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>The feel of the brake pedal should approach the firmness and consistency of a brick. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

So yeah, I guess brakes can never be stiff enough basically. Maybe I'll ask a Civil Engineer what's the modulus of a brick. I'll bet they'll just look at me funny.
