2019 was an exciting year for the team! Another set of members were set to graduate this year and were aiming to build a fantastic car. Some highlights from the design this year was switching from air shocks to coil overs which the team had run for 5 years by then, and a fully custom CVT.
A lot of new members were put into leadership roles which allowed for another wave of fresh, new ideas. The new members from this year also continued on to become key members of our team later down the road.
Our first competition for the season, Midnight Mayhem, didn’t turn out as we had hope with both vehicles being taken having transmission issues. However by the time our second competition came around, Laval, we fixed those problems along with a few other things that we tuned to do very well. Not only did we do amazing in suspension with a 4th, we got 1st in acceleration! We went on to finish 10th in the endurance with our 2018 vehicle.
At our official competitions we did well and had a lot of fun! For California in particular we finished 4th in hill climb.
