It’s time for the UTC Running Mocs to ride again at the Baja SAE\u00ae Tennessee at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville from May 1-3. This year’s team has modified their recycled off-road vehicle to be able to maneuver on the water! They have achieved a top speed on land of 36 mph and in the water, 2.6 mph. They have also done a breaking analysis, fatigue analysis, and data on air pollution and safety of rotating parts.<\/p>\n

Baja SAE\u00ae Tennessee is one of three regional competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges.<\/p>\n

The object of the competition is to provide SAE student members with a challenging project that involves the planning and manufacturing tasks found when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial market. Teams in Baja SAE\u00ae Tennessee will compete in a four-hour endurance test. The UTC Running Mocs plan to rotate three drivers in that test.

All vehicles are powered by a ten-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine donated by Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Use of the same engine by all the teams creates a more challenging engineering design test.<\/p>\n

The 2008 Running Mocs team members, all UTC Engineering students, are: Mike Blessing, Scott Bowman, Adam Croft, Nettie Halcomb, Justin Littell, Jeremy Mau, Ryan ONeill, Andy Patel, Brandon Porter, Jason Powell, Stuart Rymer and Andrew Vastano.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides modifying the vehicle to maneuver on the water, we also addressed components on the vehicle that had been worn severely. We have replaced and repaired parts,\u201d said Brandon Porter.<\/p>\n

The team promises to be tweaking and testing their vehicle until it is time to take it on the road to Cookeville.<\/p>\n
