titleRelated American Solar Challenge Regulations (ASC Regs)

Below are images from ASC 2021 Regs Release A that relate to the structural design of the vehicle. There are possibly even more regulations that can be relevant factors for vehicle design. It is strongly recommended to fully review the latest release of the ASC Regs before beginning any design project. Feel free to add screenshots of additional regulations that may apply.

titleConstraints
  •  Vehicle weight that we use to design is 720 kg.
    •  Would want to get a more updated quantity of how much the current assembly weighs.
      Would need to include at least: Chassis tubes, Dynamics assembly, Battery Box, Seats, and more.
    •  Can work from a baseline how much the Chassis weighs and then see how any further modification creates how much percentage weight change
  •  Should do onsite measurements and inspection of any implementation method before finalization. This is because there are inaccuracies with the welded Chassis assembly.
