Car 46 on the trail at FMAE Moto Park
46
FMAE BAJA Season 3 · Team Velociraptors · 2020

Built from nothing. Driven for five days.

An all-terrain vehicle designed, fabricated and raced by a student team over rock, sand and a water crossing. I was lead designer.

The number on the nose
The brief

Half the score is on paper. The other half is the terrain.

FMAE Baja judges the engineering you can defend in front of a panel, then whether the car survives days of rough ground. The two pull against each other: every gram you remove to go faster is a gram you have to argue for on paper, and then trust when the car lands off a jump with a driver inside.

On the course
Everything you designed, being disagreed with.
Water crossing, loose sand, and a trail so narrow the front wheels steer whether you ask them to or not.
Leading design

Less drawing, more arbitration.

The roll cage, suspension pick-up points, driver space and extinguisher mount all want the same volume, and every subsystem lead is sure theirs should win. My job was deciding, in order, and keeping those decisions consistent enough that the fabricators could keep cutting tube.

“If a bracket is wrong you find out in front of twenty people with a grinder in their hands.”

Twenty-odd people, one vehicle and a deadline that doesn’t move. None of it was done alone.
