Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
RMIT from Australia has a guy on their team(suspension leader I believe) who is also their fastest guy and before he became a university student he was National Karting champion or something rather.....the guy was quite fast....
I am definitely 100% oppose the ringer idea, as someone who spent his free time building a car you definitely do not want someone else who just drives to drive it. But it'll certainly help if the driver knows his way about a car.....so far I am quite happy as our drivers seems to be holding their own last time out.
i can say that being a mechanical director on a top placing solar car team and a body director on a fsae both projects will help you get the job you want
and you will learn way more in these than in class
I wanted to see UWA win it. Cool guys, really slick well-built well-engineered car. But hey that's racing. Didn't actually hear what happened to their car.
RMIT did a fantastic job though and props to them. Colorado had a school-high finish of 22, we aim to be much more competitive next year.
Grip is a four letter word. All opinions are my own and not those of current or previous employers.
UWA I think was the one team that did not get any benefit from the smooth surface of the proving ground. In Australia I think because of their setup and the bumpy track, they were able to get like 3 sec a lap on everybody. But the benefit of their Kinetic system does not show that well on the smooth surface....
I'm at wits in south africa. We had a car a year ago, but the graduating guys that were in control of the project designed a rear end assembly that was tidy, could be removed easily and as light as mini me, but it was too light i guess. The struts holding the drive shaft started necking. Scary.
