The good advice was "Don't put your fingers/hand where you wouldn't put your c**k"
This is not a bad idea, however getting the right weekend racer would be hard. Let me explain:
The problem is in whole the concept and vision of the weekend non-professional racer buying these...
Just a quick comment on the composites is expensive topic, I just got a price for work from a Chinese carbon fibre producer - US$15/m2 for 200gsm cloth, US$8 for 200gsm Uni and that is just for one...
Saying the design event is an obstacle to progress is incorrect. If a team designs solely for the design event they are making a grave mistake, it is only one part of the overall event. Just like if...
Please do let us know who so we can track their rise to the top or will we just know when they blow off design?
What part of FSAE is not motorsport can you just not grasp? Please can you...
To the University of Auckland and the School of Engineering the design event is the main event they want to win. It is pretty much is the only event that the facility can be a part of it's...
Could part of the answer be as simple as releasing a marking schedule (with comments from section leaders) now-ish, then after the DJ's have a GoToMeeting in October-ish release any changes? This...
Maybe the thread needs to be on a somewhat unrelated topic? This thread is will now be known as "Why skid pan should be worth more points than accel"
I'm sorry but this has gotten ridiculous suggesting there is a conspiracy to keep UWA down.

They are, 675 out of 1000 points or 67.5% are judged solely by the stop watch + 40 points from cost that is for lowest cost. But that is a discussion for the design thread as it is off topic for this...
For such a contentious topic there has been little activity here.
I think in 10 years there have only been 1 or 2 grads that have ended up in the Victorian Automotive Industry, with only maybe...
As this thread has gotten off topic and will only get further off track I have stated a new thread....
As this topic seems to be overtaking a number of other threads I thought it would be best give it its own one.
So how would you improve the design, and other static, events?
Lets try and keep...
I don't want to get this thread to far off topic as it is starting to go a little down a rabbit hole.
Within our team we had a culture (that I was part of) that if you weren't out at the workshop...
In what way Claude? I'm working for a nanofibre R&D and production company. Almost everyday the knowledge of and uses for nanofibre changes. As we are working in the R&D field our goalposts are...
I am not aiming this at UWA or any other incident in particular, rather at the competition as a whole; teams, judges, officials, scrutineers, volunteers and forum warriors.
Having been on the...
I looked back at our 2005/2006 car and the COG was 180mm with smaller wings and, this will make you somewhat happy Z, 60% rear. Didn't win anything at comp.
So UWA cocked up with their "most innovative suspension design" as it was not as fast on track as the previous year?
Using them as an example they would get a max of 50 - best design, someone with...
So by this plan UWA with the so called "most innovative suspension design" that only got 3 points would now get 0. Pretty quickly large innovation leaps would stop as teams would become risk adverse...
Z;
I don't rate myself enough to judge design, I probably could, but someone needs to put cones back, put cars on fire out, sweep the track, scrutineer the cars, hold the noise meter, keep track of...
Z; While I appreciate and respect that you like to shit stir and challenge the status quo, your attacks on the creditably and personalities of the volunteers is way out of line. They give up their...
Geoff, the internet is the same here and I live in the largest city. They are busy rolling out high speed fibre to all the small hick towns forgetting where over a quarter of the population lives. I...
Okay I don't want to start a shit fight but I think that there is a little bit of historic selective memory. One of my first impressions of FSAE-A in 2004 was the professionalism of 3 teams in...
