Are you ready for
the Challenge?
Can your school

future? Does your school have 3 to 6
students that have what it takes to compete
internationally against other students in
engineering, academics and manufacturing?
Then, let's get started now so we can see
you at the finish line:
-
Register
your team! (It's only $195 plus
you'll get everything you need to get
started in our F1 Kit)
-
Design
your cars on CAD (e.g., Mastercam).
-
Analyze
your design using manual methods or
software (e.g., Virtual Wind Tunnel
software).
-
Make
your cars using a CNC machine (eg.,
Denford Microrouter or manufacturing
partner).
-
Test
finished models in a smoke tunnel and a
wind tunnel.
-
Paint them
to a high degree of finish and add
graphics.
-
Then the
race is on!!!
