remainder of the semester, each team set about redesigning and reconstructing cars for therace. The race had three events: flat course speed, hill-climb, and obstacle course. The speedevent was timed with a start at zero velocity with the distance reached in the allowed timemeasured for three heats. In the incline event the vehicle had to carry another vehicle up theincline, and the incline was increased incrementally until the vehicle could no longer climb. Theobstacle had three segments: equally spaced bumps, randomly spaced ½” PVC pipe, and an “S”style obstacle course. All three courses were available prior to race day for testing and practice.Each team was permitted to modify two cars for the races, so that they had to make trade-offs intheir

The student hardware competition is considered thecentral event within the student programs. It continues to maintain its original focus of thedesign and building of Robots that compete by performing a pre-defined task. Earlier names ofthis competition were solar car contest, “seeker” car and design contest. On the average about 49of the 101 member universities participate in the student competition each year. Electricalengineering programs continue to take advantage of this contest
