Week 1

Week 1
In the first week of the pedal box project the group defined the constraints and began research. Before defining the constraints, the group met with the current president of the Formula SAE club, Rob Gibbons. At the meeting, they took measurements of the pre-existing chassis in order to plan for the next weeks. Also defined was the style of brake master cylinders that will be used as well as their mounting style. Research in the first week consisted of looking up other teams and communicating with them in order to gain knowledge. The 2016 rulebook was also read through to find all of the rules pertaining to the pedal box.
