Overview
Welcome to the controls team! Building the car is only half the battle. The drivers perform the other half at the competition. In order to compete the driver must be aware of and control several systems on the car. We design the pedals, steering, and cockpit to bring the most out of the drivers and car while still remaining safe. In addition to the traditional engineering design process our team members will be exposed to several race engineering topics. Below we have provided an intro course along with additional resources.
Intro Course
Our team covers many different projects and groups. This intro course should give you a good overview of all of them. Please complete this as soon as possible and we will provide additional resources for each project as needed.
