SAE BAJA Competition
-
Sep 2019 - Mar 2022
Objective: Modify and redesign off-road vehicle to survive rough terrains, including mud, asphalt, snow, dirt, and gravel,to compete in SAE BAJA Midwestern Competition for design, dynamic, static, traction, acceleration, and maneuverability.▪ Modified current competitive vehicle to optimize performance without adding extra weight.▪ Fabricated chassis brackets for engine block to replace current rusted, failing components.▪ Diagnosed unacceptable tire vibration and alignment through observation, as well as breaks and bearing hub testing.▪ Relocated center of mass of car by lowering engine block closer to ground increasing vehicle maneuverability.▪ Moved from 40th place in 2018-2019 to 4th place in 2020 with newly modified vehicle.▪ Researched transmission designs and summarized BAJA ruleset requirements for brand new 2022 BAJA vehicle.
