Engineering during a pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the members of our team were sent home before we were able to fully finish building REV6. Still, we competed in the virtual FSAE competition in the Design, Cost, and Sales events, winning the 4th place Siemens Digital Twin Award.
While at home, we put countless hours of R&D into the design of REV7, with a redesigned powertrain, suspension, and a new 450V accumulator.
