Happy Thursday buggy fans!

We at the BAA Teams Committee are taking advantage of a weekend without rolls to run our first ever “Composites 101” course for current buggy students.

When? Saturday 9/28, 2-3pm
Where? Wean Hall, 4625

We’ll be covering topics such as:

• What are the pros and cons of different carbon fiber weave types?
• What are the best core material choices for a team on a budget?
• What is the difference between a wet layup and resin infusion? Can I use the same materials? And what the heck is prepreg carbon fiber?
• How do we validate composite parts in industry… and why does that not necessarily work for us in the buggy world?

This course is geared to be accessible to new teams and freshmen buggy mechanics– but there should be plenty of interesting info for more experienced buggy mechanics as well.

Alumni– no need to feel left out! If you’re interested in getting involved with the BAA Teams Committee, to help us expand our collection of open-source buggy resources, please email Diya (BAA Quartermaster / Teams Committee Lead) at diyanuxoll@cmubuggy.org.
