this compition,
http://www.aiconversions.com/sae/021...oBajaRules.pdf It is a comption organized by SAE, the Society of Automotive Engineers. It is for colleges and for corporations. This was the first year anyone from my school ran in teh compition, and there are a couple rules that i wasnt too clear on. They were the no remote control, i feel it should be radio control, so i show up with my vehicle setup in radio control fashion the day before and i need to change the electrical system the night before (thank god i had a mechinical speed control laying around the house. And every vehicle must have working head lights, regardless. The judges said that for first year competitors, they rarely even finish a lap, i ended up in fourth, and almost ended up in second place (they had time for a third set of runs and two people knocked me down). I also set the apce for the race next year through most of the course, all in all, it was fun and i got a couple buisness cards out of it, and compliments on my vehicle. also there was more like 2 inches of water, not one. feel free to ask me any questions about this. p.s., i only had 2 weeks to build a vehicle for this while others have been using the same vehicle for at least 4 years.
