Design and Development of a Human Powered Vehicle
About the Challenge
The Challenge is designed to develop engineering students into engineering professionals while exploring means of traversing an alien landscape with minimal resources. Each year, the competition has a specific design focus with a unique set of constraints, this years major focus being on the design fo the wheels. Specifically, reinventing the wheel to withstand off-road loading without commercial parts.
