to join. This was important to realize as team captain
because it meant that the team would consist of a wide
range of different people-some who had never touched
a wrench before-to a few graduate students who had
experience working on a team for multiple years. Uniting
such a diverse crowd to achieve a common goal would
have become a greater challenge if it had not been for
the remarkable quality of individuals that were a part of
the 2019 team. Nonetheless, our future success was not
to arrive without adversity.
"Nonetheless, our future success
was not to arrive without adversity."
CNC aluminum uprights will always be lighter in order to explore other
routes. A potential solution came when a team member suggested we
use bent and welded sheet metal.
However, research on the pros and cons of the two different
approaches would need to be done before making any firm decisions.
The team analyzed availability and price of bearings, ease of
manufacturing, and stiffness versus weight when taking the two design
choices into consideration. When making this comparison, there were
design constraints that were in place-such as keeping the old upright
design constant-that would impact the outcome of the study. With
these specific factors in mind, the team concluded that the steel uprights
fit our goals instead of the CNC-required design.

Our main goal for the 2019 team was to get our car
driving by spring break in mid-March. This was done in
the interest of preparing for the June competition held
in Lincoln. This goal for the team developed into our
global design philosophy of designing for maximum
performance within the timeline given. This philosophy
physically manifested itself in many different areas of the
car, including the new corner packages, oiling system,
and increased weight.
The corner package design became a major
controversy within the team. This was due to the issues
developed the previous year sourcing parts, as the
design was a very complex aluminum construction
that required the use of a 5-axis CNC machine. After
many meetings filled with intense debates, the team
decided to throw out the conventional wisdom that
