Our job is to design every mechanical component, let it be a planetary gearbox or a carbon fibre composite suspension, that is between the chassis and the contact patch of the tires. Moreover, we also have responsibilities inside the chassis, as we design the steering system and the pedal box. On our autonomous car we deal with the steering and brake actuators. In our case it is especially true that we always finish what we had started, because in addition to the design, we also take care of the proper manufacturing and installation of the various elements.

The task of our electronics group is to create the electronic control systems of our cars based on the requirements arising from the regulations and the demands from the other groups. In addition to the design and manufacturing of the necessary PCBs and cable harnesses, we also develop embedded software and real-time telemetry.

The task of the vehicle dynamics group is to develop a program to control the car’s four-wheel drive, which must meet several criteria: on the one hand, the car must be controlled with “optimal dynamics” the potential of electric motors must be properly exploited. This includes control of the power regulator and regenerative braking.

One of our tasks is the design and manufacturing of the aerodynamic elements influencing the airflow around the car, such as the front and rear wings, and the sideboxes for example. The cooling system goes hand-in-hand with the aero package, and is hence also our responsibility.

Our group is responsible for the car’s biggest component, the chassis. The work of our group is also important because the frame holds the rest of the car together and is also responsible for other safety components, not just composite ones, to protect the driver. Our group has the most diverse tasks, from the design of safety components, through layer order optimization and welding, to the geometric modeling of the frame.

The primary goal of the group is to help the building of our race cars by creating a suitable environment, and by making the day-to-day work of the team easier. Among others, we are responsible for establishing great relationships with our sponsors and supporters, and we also coordinate the team’s marketing activities, for example, we manage our social sites. We organize the team’s appearance at different events, run the team member hiring process, create a business plan for the competitions, go to tests to take photos and videos, and design team clothes and souvenirs.

Our accumulator group deals with the design and manufacturing of our cars’ low and high voltage accumulators. While the high voltage accumulator is the power source of the powertrain only, the low voltage one is the power source of all the other electronic components. Our tasks are quite diverse, as in addition to electronics, we also deal with mechanical design and production, the implementation of cooling, and due to the HV accumulator’s carbon composite container, we also have to be familiar with material science.

The group is responsible for providing and operating the software, sensors and computers required to implement the self-driving mode in our driverless car. The group’s activities are centered around software development. The task is to solve perception, mapping, state estimation, trajectory planning and control problems.

The task of the sponsoring group is to establish the best circumstances for our project. We look for possible supporters, convience them that it is worth their time and resources. We also take part in planning events, and participate in negotiations with supporting companies.
