ELECTRICAL
The Electrical Team has been working tirelessly to ensure the car’s electronics are fully functional for the 2023 BWSC. Their efforts are focused on four key subsystems: the battery, solar array, control systems, and motor.
MECHANICAL
The Mechanical Team is responsible for four key subsystems: the front suspension, rear suspension, steering and brakes. They also manage numerous smaller systems, including the opening mechanism, latches, fairings, and more.
AERODYNAMICS
The Aerodynamic Team designed the chassis for SC3 with a focus on maximizing aerodynamic efficiency. Recently, they have concentrated on further enhancing the design, specifically improving the trailing edge, fairings, and battery cooling to make the chassis even more aerodynamic.
