OUR TEAM
Our Team
We are a diverse collection of students from different faculties around the University of Waterloo, all with the common goal of making the future of transportation more sustainable.
Mechanical
The mechanical team is responsible for everything from the roll cage, suspension, and steering, to the braking and aerobody systems. We use a variety of materials from composites like carbon fiber and fiberglass to materials like aluminum and steel. Most importantly, we design the mechanical systems in CAD, create kinematic models, and perform FEA on simulations.
Electrical
The electrical team encompasses Hardware and Firmware. Hardware is responsible for driving the systems that handle power distribution and make the car move. The main focus is building a practical, easy to debug and resilient electrical system. Firmware writes embedded code to validate and support hardware systems in the car. Projects include C-based firmware for power distribution, battery monitoring systems and driver controls/telemetry.
Operations
The operations team handles sponsorship, marketing, finances and logistics. In short, we are responsible for organizational duties, which include but are not limited to : PR, graphic design, media content, and race logistics
Advisors
Advisors are former Sub-team Leads that advise their respective sub-teams on design/manufacturing/logistics/management. We greatly appreciate all our advisors for helping to maintain a stable knowledge transfer as the team changes and grows!
