Front Wing/Steering

[ftorque]

Hi 2 all. i have just registered my team for fsael
n am confused if a front wing can be attached.
i would like to know if ackerman steering is better since we have already designed a rack and pinion. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

We cannot make engineering decisions for you.

Carrots.

No, he's right. Definitely carrots.

[ftorque]

but how many....

[Menisk]

We run six in total, the first four are shredded and the last two diced.

[Canuck Racing]

We've actually gotten away with 5 the last few years, though the design judges didn't like it.

We might go back to 6 this year though but use baby carrots.

Wrong, wrong, wrong guys.

The Judges want carats, not carrots...very different things http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I offer the Hope Diamond then.

Pat, will you marry me then? Joking....

But seriously. My girlfriend will probably kill me if she reads this.

[Big Bird]

If your girlfriend reads these forums - she is definitely a keeper. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[shark.ashwa]

Definitely agree with Big Bird http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The most absurd comment.
Carrots are always in season here(India). I think you should probably read up on the vegetables available before starting to design "race cars". http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Probably serve you better in the long run...

Off topic much?
Gold is in fact a very effective heat insulator, or at least it looks nice and shiny lining the engine bay of your McLaren F1. Or SAE car, although I put forward that it makes a poor substitute for ceramic coating of the exhaust.

ftorque, I think the gist of the first few replies is this: One; Speak English using full and correctly spelled words. Two; We're not going to tell you if Ackermann steering is better because you will by now have assessed the load transfer that is going to occur in a corner, referenced the grip and slip angle data for your tyres available from the TTC, and will know the answer yourself. Three; I read your first question as 'Is it permitted to attach a front wing to my car' in which case, good heavens man, read the rules! If my understanding of your question is incorrect, refer to point one.

Either that or I'm completely wrong, and you should be using more carrots on your car.

Does that mean that tech/design this year will be run with LeMons style judging?
