In MSXI, there were numerous deficiencies with the driver controls. In particular, MSXII used a paddle on the steering wheel as the accelerator which made it difficult to control the car while cornering. There were also issues meeting requirement for the redundant braking system.
Goal
Design, build and test a brake pedal. The intent is that this pedal will be used on MSXII, but it should be versatile enough to be used on any solar car. The pedal should house two master cylinders for the redundant braking system. Work with the electrical team to develop a way to communicate the brake input signal to the driver controls system (rotary potentiometer or other...) for regenerative braking.
