Last week we summarized what each sub-team has been doing for the past few months. This week, we will start to show a more detailed breakdown of the science, physics and techniques used behind the scenes! Connor Schellenberg, who designed the new differential supports this year, used tools like topology optimization and FEA to perform…
Over the last few months, the Formula UBC SAE team has made some great progress designing and manufacturing their new Formula car. With the design phase coming to a close, the team’s focus will shift towards manufacturing this year. The team will be working hard to try and get the new car out on the…
