Why was the F1 in Schools™ Technology Challenge introduced? The F1 in Schools™ Technology Challenge exists to raise the profile of engineering across schools and colleges around the world. CAD/ CAM, CNC and VR System are now common place in the manufacturing industry, which is why is so important for the engineers and designers of the future to get to grips with it early on. Students using CAD/ CAM. CNC and VR software are able to design, test, analyse and manufacture their own creations using the very latest technology. Primarily, F1 in Schools provides students with an ideal opportunity to experience the very latest developments in manufacturing technology;

rienced professionals, share and develop files on-line and visit manufacturing centers without having to leave their classroom. • CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machines such as the Denford range of Routers, allow processed CAD drawings to be manufactured to high degrees of accuracy, fit and finish. Through direct experience of the technology and processes required to complete this project, it is hoped that more students will be encouraged to explore and/or pursue a career in our design, engineering and manufacturing industries.

• CAD (Computer Aided Design) encourages students to think, explore and visualize their ideas in three- dimensions, using features such as complex curve modelling and surface rendering, alongside more traditional orthographic presentations. • CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) packages, create an environment where CAD designs can be developed and prepared for automated manufacturing processes. Some CAM Packages, such as Denford’s Quick CAM PRO, are wizard based and can be used to create cutter paths for machining 3D Parts on a Router.

Team analysing car in mini wind tunnel.

• CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) packages, such as VRWT (Virtual Reality Wind Tunnel) allow computer models of car designs to be analysed, with regard to aerodynamic efficiency, then modified to further increase performance. • VR (Virtual Reality) packages allow complicated machining and processing tasks to be practiced in real time and total safety. Packages allow CNC machining to be experienced, even when you don’t actually own the real CNC hardware. • Video Conferencing systems allow students to solve problems in live conferences with expe-

Don’t forget that team work is an important element of the Challenge and you will achieve great things if you work closely together. 04

The Brief You are the Formula One™ Team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest Formula One™ Car of the Future, driven by compact compressed reclaimed CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) powerplants. In order to enter the Championship, you must allocate job roles to the members of your group. Ideally, one role should be allocated to each person. However, you may have to double up on your role and responsibilities, depending on the number of people you have available. The following job roles, which are not exclusive,should be covered by the members of your team: • Team Manager (maximum 1 person). This person will be responsible for managing the team, ensuring that the primary and back-up cars are ready for the finals. The team manager works closely with all members of the team, offering assistance where necessary. • Resources Manager (maximum 1 person) This person organizes time, materials and equipment for design and making the cars. They are also responsible for developing ideas regarding team marketing (presentation). The resources manager will need to liase with all members to check tasks are progressing on time and offer additional help, if needed. • Manufacturing Engineer (maximum 2 persons) These people could be for advising team members on the manufacture of the car and the constraints of the machining process. Manufacturing engineers will need to liaise with the design engineersto report and help solve any problems with constructionof the car. • Design Engineer (maximum 2 persons) These people could be responsible for the styling and aerodynamic performance of the car design. Design engineers will need to liaise with the manufacturing engineers to ensure their ideas can be realised.

05

• Graphic Designer (maximum 1 person) This person could be responsible for producing the colour schemes applied to the vehicle, including any special sponsorship decals, together with the final graphic renderings and any additional team marketing materials. The graphic designer will need to liase with the design engineer to ensure any schemes will fit the shape of the vehicle and the resources manager for the additional marketing development. There are so many tasks that must be mastered, in order to design, manufacture, prepare and finally enter a car for racing that teamwork will be vital to your success. A real F1 team succeeds because all the people learn to work together and support each other. Remember, no one person is more important than another.

Malaysia Championships Criteria. Your team must comply with all the guidelines outlined below: • Your team must contain a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 6 students, consisting of 4 x Form 4 students and 2 Form 1 & 2 students. Schools without lower secondary form (e.g SM Teknik) should have 4 team members , all of which in Form 4. Otherwise, teams should have 6 members with 4 x Form 4 students and 2 x Form 1 & 2 students. • Each competing team must qualify the 5-page (A4 sized) business plan selection done at state level. • Should your team consist of 2 or more races/ethnic groups, your team may register as a RIMUP (Rancangan Integrasi Murid Untuk Perpaduan) team, which qualifies teams for all categories of championship prizes including the

zone and national champions. It also qualifies your team to compete in the Best Collaborative Team Award. The best 3 RIMUP teams who are not already top 3 zone winners and best team of their states, will also qualify to the National Finals 2009. RIMUP category is open to all national stream schools (eg SMK, SMS, SMT), Single ethnic schools (e.g SJK ) and religious schools (SMA)may also choose to have interschool combination to register as a RIMUP team. • Your team must use CAD (Computer Aided Design ) software to produce your ideas and model them in 3D. • Your team must use a CNC machine , such as a Denford Router, or an F1 in Schools approved Manufacturing Centre to produce the car body. • Each car body must be manufactured either at your school/college or at a designated manufacturing centre / partner.

and a graphic rendering of their final design, both produced using a 3D CAD package. • Each team must complete a specification sheet , as supplied by the event Co-ordinator, which must be submitted at each race event. • Teams must prepare and deliver an 8 minute verbal presentation on their work. Suggested contents: • How the team has performed. • Decision on job roles / teamwork • Explanation on each area of the challenge. [Design,Analyse, Make, Test & Race] • How was the design agreed upon. • Software used. • Engineering the car. • Uniqueness of the team. • Collaboration with industry/higher education. • Aerodynamics of the car. • Manufacturing skills addressed. • Innovation.

• Each car body must be completed with a high quality painted finish. Note that only o limited amount of hand finishing to the body is allowed.

[See marking criteria for further explanation on how the verbal presentation will be assessed]

• Each team must bring three identical cars to any race event- a primary race car, an identical spare back-up and a third car , for F1 in Schools to keep.

Design Considerations

• At the Zone and National Finals, each team must produce a design folder including initial ideas, design development and evidence of testing – maximum 20 pages [ A3 size ]- see marketing criteria for further explanation on how the design portfolio will be assessed.

Design Preparation: Before beginning to design your car, you will need:

• F1 teams are encourage to develop partnerships and seek assistance from businesses and industry throughout this engineering process. However , all aspects of this engineering and industry partnership should be represented in the team’s portfolio. This includes CAD designs, painting of the cars, and the creation/ production of the portfolio, which should remain the responsibility of the students in the team. • Each team must supply (in the design folder) a dimensioned 3rd angle orthographic projection

• A 3D CAD solid modeling software package at your school / college. • A design template suitable for the balsa wood blank. • Hopefully, an endless supply of ideas! Training: CAD packages will help you draw and develop your ideas in 3D. Of course, as with most drawing packages, it takes time to learn how to use them. Your technology teacher should be able to show you how the software works, but members of your team will need to spend some time exploring the software, so you can see what it can do

06

and how it can help you design your F1 car. Research: Investigate existing F1 car design. Your teacher may be able to help you use the internet to find out the latest developments occurring in the world of F1 design. Concentrate your research on areas that could help your team, for example, aerodynamics and car body design, then try to apply the principles to your own ideas. Testing: Your team may want to consider testing a variety of car designs, or car parts, in a wind and/ or smoke tunnel to evaluate their aerodynamics performance.

Manufacturing Considerations In the F1 car Kit, you will receive a balsa wood block, a set of 4 wheels, 2 axles and some glass paper, which is the minimum that you need to enter the challenge. Note that your car design template must be at least 10mm shorter at one end, compared to the actual balsa wood block [we have accounted for this is in the Rules & Regulations, point 2a]. You will not be able to machine to the extreme ends of the balsa wood block, since they are sometimes used for attaching the CNC machine fixtures. Damage could occur if the cutting tool hits any of these fixtures. The fixture is used to stop the balsa wood block moving whilst being machined. It also allows the block to be accurately repositioned. Please not however that some machines will process with only one cuts, therefore you will need to take this into account when you are designing the car. Once machined, you can smooth down the balsa wood design and finish with primer and paint. Note that only a limited amount of hand finishing to the body is allowed. You could also decorate the car body with any sponsorship stickers, advertising or colour schemes.

10c. Reaction Time Racing (20 marks at zone finals, 10 marks at national finals) These races will be conducted during the Competition Days as per the judging schedule. ALL team members need to be at the race track during their scheduled time. “Drivers” will not be allowed to practice during this official race time. Reaction practice will be allowed at other times on the public race track. Each car will be raced in each lane. The single fastest total race time recorded (reaction time PLUS actual car start line to finish line time), by each team will be used to determine the marks they are awarded for Reaction Time Racing. At the conclusion of Reaction Time Racing, all teams will be ranked from fastest to slowest to determine each team’s Knock-Out Racing seeded position. 10d. Knock-out Competition (10 Marks at national finals) These races will be conducted during the Competition Days as per the event schedule. Ranking from Reaction Time Racing results will determine where teams start in the knock-out rounds. ALL team members need to be at the race track during their scheduled times. All teams will receive a detailed schedule and confirmed knock-out draw on the morning of Competition Day 3. Each car will be raced (manual / driver launch mode), once in each lane. The single fastest time posted from these 2 races (reaction time PLUS actual car start line to finish line time), will determine the winner for that knock-out race and advance to the next knock-out round.

These will be conducted over the course of the Competition Days as per the judging schedule. Team members need to be at the race track during their scheduled race times. Each car will be raced twice in each lane of the race track. The single fastest time recorded by each team will be used to determine the marks they are awarded for time trails, up to a maximum of 80 marks.
