Bench
2019-2021
It All Started With Four-Wheel Drive...
With SAE Baja’s push for 4WD integration with competition, our focus was being able to add a 4WD system with minimal weight added.
​
“If I was fluid…”
​
The countless hours of bench testing and experimentation with a hydraulic powered 4WD system is a testament to the baja whose build was halted by the pandemic. Nevertheless, the spirit of Bench powered through into the virtual competition with all four wheel turning.

M.O.A.B.
2016-2017
It All Started With A Scale...
With a heavy car from the previous year and a team ready to make some serious design changes, The Mother of all Bajas' was dreamt up with weight in mind.
​
"A pound here... An ounce there"
​
Finished in a candy apple red, M.O.A.B. sparkles in the pride of the members who took the car from dream to design to physical racer. Being 125 lbs lighter than her predecessor and with validation for every design area, all the way down to the rubber boots on the steering rack, she is a true head turner.

Having made improvements towards weight savings and design integrity throughout the whole car, this years beauty has been carefully designed to compete at the highest level possible.
​
"Aluminum Here... Carbon Fiber There"
​
Cutting out even more weight than the previous year, we pushed materials to their limits. All finished in a candy apple red and pearlescent white, Buggy Smalls gleaned in the spotlight and tore the top teams apart in competition.

Kandie
2018-2019
It all started with Buggy Smalls…
Utilizing the same chassis from the 17-18 season allowed for the majority of the season designing and testing the other subsystems.
“Too much… Data…”
After fine tuning the CVT through numerous acceleration runs and crashing the test laptop, Kandie was ready to continue our teams performance in acceleration. Kandie also became the first car to ever compete in two competitions within the same season.
