Build Team
The build team designs the drive train, chassis, control system, and secondary containment for the car. Students on the build team work in different CAD software to design and eventually machine the different parts that go on the car. They also design circuits and program the control system that allows the car to work.
Drive Train and Chassis:
The drive train and chassis are designed to be easy to machine, and easy to mount to while not being overly complex and heavy.
Control System:
The control system is designed to read when the stopping reaction undergoes change, regulate voltage of the battery, and help keep the car going straight.
Secondary Containment:
The secondary containment is designed to contain any leaks or spills that might occur in the first layer of containment while being simple and light.
