Mechanical
The Mechanical Team is responsible for all non-electrical design, simulation, and manufacturing. Each member of the team is trained in the principles of mechanical design, 3-D design, and structural simulation. This team prioritizes the safety and performance of our vehicles.
Aerobody & composites
The subteam is in charge of advanced CAD modeling of the car’s aeroshell while also performing computational fluid dynamics.
Team Lead: Liam Bianchetti
Brakes and Steering
The subteam is in charge of creating CAD models of steering geometry and brake system while also performing analysis to optimize both systems.
Team Lead: Cole Smith
Chassis
The subteam designs the main structural frame of the car and uses Finite Element Analysis to optimize size.
Team Lead: Rina Visvanathan
Suspension
The subteam is in charge of creating CAD models of suspension geometry and using Matlab and Python to optimize design.
Team Lead: Rex Duncan
