These guys break something everytime they run this "car" and are are engineering professors.

An engineer does not a welder make. My mom can bake one hell of a cookie, but that doesn't mean she could build an oven. Scientists and engineers pound numbers, quite successfully. They could definitely design a much better theoretical design. Poor materials probably caused their failure each time. That or lack of welding experience. I was trained at college for it, and still don't know everything.

Of course- but it's the ones that are good at doing all that stuff that generally get into the student chapters of SAE around the country.

:thumbsup:

Well, most of the UT car is made out of carbon fiber that the aerospace guys laid themselves, so there really isn't much welding that went into it. The ceramic brake discs are nice as hell too.

:lmao:
