Mech Training Plan Overview Discussion

Mech Leads Design Challenge

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.)
