Hi,
I am Sudharshun Iyengar representing a formula Electric Car making Team called Team Ojas from India. I have a confusion regarding a rule in the FSAE 2014 Rule Book.
I had already put up a post regarding the same issue, just to be sure I am back with the same issues with the pictures to give a better description of my problem.
Let me quote the rule that i was confused with. EV 3.4.3 - "All accumulator containers must lie within the frame."
We have two battery packs and they have been placed on the sides of the chassis side panels.
I also wanted to share that the chassis covers 3/4th of the complete battery pack but does not enclose it completely.The top 1/4th of the battery pack pops out of the
chassis, that is covered by water proof panelling. Hence the entire battery container is covered and water proof. So have we satisfied the rule?
I have uploaded the CAD model along with this post to gather the opinion regarding the validity of this rule.
Thanks for your reply in advance.
