Team member of the mechanical subteam, focusing on the steering and braking system of the “car”. I’m working on the wheel hubs and brake mount to increase overall racing efficiency. New components that I have to create are first computer-aided designed with Autodesk Fusion360, then 3D printed for physical scale, and finally manufactured for the building process. As of now, most pieces are in their final computer design stage. Learned basic Finite Element Analysis to evaluate whether each component would retain shape and strength once put in place. Currently learning to earn certification for mill and lathe machines to use to manufacture designed pieces.
