Mech Training Plan Overview Discussion

Completed Today:

Timeline for Design Challenge / Training (2 months - finishing during Reading Week)
- To be reviewed by Kevin and other advisors

Preliminary Mech Milestones and Tentative Dates

List of Milestones:

Research End Date (transition into design phase) - End of March 2022 (3months)
Research-Design Transition Phase - Between April - Start in May 2022 (1month)
- Will this include selection of materials for large systems (e.g. chassis tubes, body shape, etc.)?
Mech Design Freeze (For detailed milestones, specify subteam design freezes, manufacturing freeze) (Start of May 2022 - End of Dec 2022) (8 months)
- To stagger design freezes for each subteam
Start Chassis Process (2 months of SI + 4 months start to finish) - End of Dec 2022/Beginning of Jan 2023
Start Aero Panels (start after Aerobody design freeze)
End Welded Chassis (end of 4 months + 1 month Powder Coating) - End ofJuly 2023
All Dynamics Components in-House - End Aug 2023
Rolling Chassis - End Sept 2023
Battery Modules Completed
End of Aero Panels Manufacturing - End Sept 2023
Aero-Chassis Integration - Start after Design freeze of Aerobody and chassis - End of Oct/Nov 2023
VDRs Submitted - Dependent on ASC schedule (March of the competition year)
Finish Car (with 8 month Contingency ~30%: End of Dec 2023)
Start-End Testing for Full Vehicle (4 months)
Race Day (Early July 2024)

Note: Add contingency to what we can’t control, don’t add to things internally (what we can control)

All Dynamics Components Ordered/Undergoing Manufacturing
Battery Bulk Order
Battery Cells Tested
Battery Prototype Modules Completed
Race Preparations (includes: driver prep, race operations, logistics to ASC, etc.)
