Hi everyone! In the beginning of the spring quarter, the team met together to detail a schedule to successfully complete our MVP to be used by UCIPD during an emergency crisis on campus. The main tasks for the manufacturing team are to design and manufacture a tether system to be contained inside a pelican case. Issues observed from our MVP …
With the quarter underway, work has begun again in earnest. With this as the final quarter to complete work, having deadlines for important documentation like the technical report and such closing in, there is not much time for dallying. Each team has quickly turned around following the break and is jumping into action to get their respective tasks and systems …
The new senior design project LIBRA has initiated! The project is being led by Ahmed Hassan and consists of Arman Zargaryan(team lead), Miran Govind (purchasing manager), Patrick Huynh (documentation), Tyler Gorman, Dong Kim, Sergio Linares, and Dennis Ye. Our main goal for this quarter is to experimentally verify the Lie-Bracket maneuver with an airplane at a high angle of attack …
We finally have a practice track! Thanks to Professor Walter and the school, team Marauder has a place to use as a practice track again. A group of team members were up bright and early today at Shady Tree (behind the ARC) to get some ditches and logs set up to put Marauder through its paces once it’s tech-ready. Since …
The Winter Quarter was overall a success. With the Sig-T prototype achieving a full autonomous flight, take-off, and landing, all while taking photos of the ground. An almost ready to fly kit was also purchased and was constructed over the Spring Break, and already achieved manual flight. But despite the significant progress, the next two months will be packed with …
We’re back from spring break with our noses to the grindstone for the final leg before competition! Over spring break we cleaned up the welds on the body and taught some members how to do torsional rigidity testing; we’ve also implemented a different way of securing the belly pan to the cars. Once all the tabs are in place again …
Last week, the FSAE Electric Racecar team focused on completing the design report and cost report. While the most exciting part of FSAE Electric is racing against other schools, it is important to remember that FSAE Electric is a design competition. This means that over a third of our score comes from static events such as the Cost Analysis and …
Last week, the FSAE Electric Racecar attended the Winter Design Review. There, we presented the car to fellow engineering students, professors, and the dean. The Winter Design Review is one of the most important parts of the quarter for the FSAE Electric Racecar Team, as it is a chance for us to show the skill and effort that went into …
Last week, the FSAE Electric Racecar team was able to get the racecar running! After putting in an unhealthy amount of time assembling the racecar, we were able to get the racecar to drive with its own power. This milestone shows how much the FSAE Electric Racecar team have improved compared to last year. At end of winter quarter last …
Despite being only a week from final, UAV Forge has seen some significant progress towards reaching the goals set by the project towards accomplishing the mission task. That being said, the project does not currently have the funds to make it to Maryland. As a possible solution to the problem, a ZotFunder profile is in the works to generate funds …
