More than 1,000 students from 20 countries competed in the event, vying for the …
Our group, Exosuit, has been seeking out different avenues of display to showcase our completed soft robotic upper body exosuit for rehabilitation and military uses. In doing this we have found that robotic competitions are more suitable for our end goal of taking the finished product to market. We are confident in our ability to perform well and win at …
After many long nights of design work, Savage is finally coming together! It was tough for the team to strike a balance while juggling midterms, designing the new car, fixing the old car, and of course living the oh-so-vibrant social lives us engineers live. However, seeing the first rendering of Savage made it all worth it and the team is …
After seeing our last year’s car in competition last year, the SAE Baja team is designing Raider (our 2016 car) to be significantly different from its predecessor. The vehicle will be shorter by almost 20 inches and considerably lighter in an effort to achieve the agility that the competition series calls for. We’ve made good progress on our chassis in …
On team HyperXite, we go beyond classroom learning and provide students with the skills of teamwork and manufacturing through designing, manufacturing and testing a product that has never been made before. We stretch the limits by providing students with the opportunity to communicate effectively the details of a component that does not exist yet and teach each other how each …
The 2016 Baja SAE competition may be eight months away, but this year’s team is already hard at work designing Raider, their 2016 vehicle. After participating in the 2015 competition last year with XV, Anteater Racing’s first Baja car in ten years, the team has gotten invaluable feedback that is being utilized to drastically improve the design of this year’s …
