What is F1 in Schools? F1 in Schools, the Formula One Technology Challenge is a competition, open to all UK based secondary schools, sixth form colleges, colleges of further education and other organised youth groups to design and manufacture CO2 powered model racing cars. Student teams will compete against each other in a National championship to determine the best engineered and fastest car in the UK.

The F1 in Schools Technology Challenge is supported and sponsored by the following companies and agencies: Denford Limited, The IET, The Learning Grid, Jaguar Cars Ltd, City University London, SEMTA, DATA, The Royal Academy of Engineering and Autosport International.

What is BLOODHOUND SSC ?

National Champions 2008-09 Velocity the National Final

The 2008-09 challenge reached and exceeded all expectations, with over 300 schools competing in 10 Regional Finals across the UK. This year, again all Regional Finals will be held in the 2009 Autumn term.

National Championship winning car

The Bloodhound SSC project – which aims to break the World Land Speed Record by achieving 1000mph – is an iconic engineering adventure that will push technology to its limit . An SSC is a Super Sonic Car – that is a car which travels faster than the speed of sound . The F1 in Schools category is new concept built around speed and aerodynamics with just one key design rule stating that the vehicle must have four wheels . The Land Speed record cars are the fastest in the World with the current record held by ThrustSSC at 763.035 mph . These cars are all about aerodynamics and ultimate performance.

•

CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) packages, create an environment where CAD designs can be developed and prepared for automated manufacturing processes. Most CAM packages include a wizard based interface that allows tool paths to easily be plotted over complex 3D shapes.

•

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!

Primarily, F1 in Schools provides students with an ideal opportunity to experience the very latest developments in manufacturing technology: •

CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machines, such as the Denford MicroRouter, allow processed CAD drawings to be manufactured to high degrees of accuracy, fit and finish.

•

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.

•

Video Conferencing systems allow students to solve problems in live conferences with experienced professionals, share and develop files on-line and visit manufacturing centres without having to leave their classroom.

•

CAD (Computer Aided Design) encourages students to think, explore and visualise their ideas in threedimensions, using features such as complex curve modeling and surface rendering, alongside more traditional orthographic presentations. Packages such as SolidWorks include many features developed around real industrial applications. Schools can register through F1 in Schools for free copies of SolidWorks, or use design systems already in place at their schools.

The Brief You are the Design Team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest car on the planet, driven by compact compressed air 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 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.

machining process. Manufacturing engineers will need to liaise with the design engineers to report and help solve any problems with construction of the car. • Graphic Designer (maximum 1 person) This person will 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 liaise with the design engineer to ensure any schemes will fit the shape of the vehicle and the resources manager for additional marketing development. • Design Engineer (maximum 2 persons) These people are 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.

This person organises 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 liaise with all members to check tasks are progressing on time and offer additional help, if needed. • Manufacturing Engineer (maximum 2 persons)

There are so many tasks that must be mastered in order to design, manufacture, develop, prepare and finally, enter your car for racing that teamwork will be vital to your success.

Design Considerations BLOODHOUND SSC Catergory is open to KS3

Design Preperation: Before beginning to design your car, you will need: • SolidWorks or a similar 3D CAD software package at your school/college. • A design template suitable for the balsa wood blank. • Hopefully, an endless supply of ideas!

Training: CAD 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 and how it can help you design your F1 car.

Research: Investigate existing F1 car designs and previous land speed record holders. Use the internet to find out the latest developments occurring in the world of F1 design. Past teams portfolios can be found on our website in the tools area. Concentrate your research on areas that could help your team, for example, aerodynamics and car body designs, and then try to apply the principles to your own ideas. Investigate current and previous land speed record car designs- and also the design for the Bonneville land speed record challenges held every year on the Bonneville Salt Flats Utah, USA . Use the internet to find out the latest developments in Land Speed Record design.

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 aerodynamic performance.

Manufacturing Considerations In the BLOODHOUND SSC Class Car Kit you will receive a balsa wood block, a set of 4 wheels and 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 10mm shorter at least at one end, compared to the actual balsa wood block (we have accounted for this is in the Rules & Regulations, point 3a). 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 jig fixtures. Damage could occur if the cutting tool hits any of these jig fixtures. The jig is used to stop the balsa wood block moving whilst being machined. It also allows the block to be accurately repositioned. Please note however that some machines will require only one cut, others may require two cuts, and 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 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.

Balsa Block Dimensions

balsa block dimensions

All BLOODHOUND SSC cars are to be manufactured using the same balsa wood block. Above is a 3D rendering of this block and its third angle orthographic projection below including all relevant measurements.

www.f1inschools.co.uk ENSURE YOU READ AND CHECK THE RULES VERY THOROUGHLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR F1 CAR.

Rules and Regulations 1a. All cars must be designed using a CAD/CAM package. The CAD/CAM package used must satisfy all the challenge entry criteria and allow students to produce a 3D graphic rendering and 3rd angle orthographic projection. The CAM package should allow students to simulate CNC processes so students can show evidence of the process in their portfolio. We recommend the use of SolidWorks CAD software. Details of how to obtain your free copy of SolidWorks, can be found on our website www.f1inschools.co.uk. Your car must be manufactured on a CNC machine, such as a Denford Compact 1000, either at your school/college or at an F1 in Schools approved Manufacturing Centre. All cars entered into the Regional and National Finals must be constructed using balsa wood blanks, provided by Denford Limited. 1b. All cars must fit within the specified dimensions. Only a limited amount of hand finishing (at the Judge's discretion) is permitted. We expect all cars to be complete, finished and painted to a high standard. 1c. Only three teams in total from each school/college/youth group is permitted to attend the Regional Finals, National Final (if qualified). The age group is determined from the student age at regional final level. Should any teams withdraw or become disqualified, reserve teams may be selected from a previously submitted list. These teams will be informed by post/e-mail/telephone call as soon as the organisers are aware of the situation. 1d. The cars should be produced during the academic year preceding the regional finals. The same car design should not be entered more than once. 1e. Each team should consist of a minimum of 3 members to a maximum of 6. Mixed gender teams would

be preferred and positively encouraged. 1f. At a regional final only one car is required; however, we recommend that two are manufactured in case of damage. If attending the National Final two identical cars must be provided. Both cars must be registered at the pits on the day of the event. At the National Finals the event organisers have the right to keep one car for promotional purposes. For this reason it is recommended that a 3rd car should be made and left with the Event Coordinators. 1g. Each design must leave enough space for an entry number sticker to be applied to the car body. Your number will be given to you at registration and must be in place before racing. The size of the sticker will be a maximum of 30mm (length) by 15mm (height). A Bloodhound Engineering Adventure Logo must be applied to each side of the car. 1h. Each team must produce a design folder of work including initial ideas, design development and evidence of testing. An orthographic projection (including a plan, side and end elevation) of their car design and a 3D rendering, both completed using a CAD package, must also be submitted in your design folder. Finally there must be evidence of the use of both CAM and CNC. These documents should be presented in an A3 sized portfolio and displayed in the pits area throughout the duration of the event - no more than 20 sheets of A3 per portfolio. 1i. The official length of the track, from start to finish, is 20 metres. 1j. All cars will be checked for safety and that the screw eyes are secure. If the Judge /Marshalls are unhappy with the safety of the vehicle or a rule infringement has occurred, teams can submit their spare car. Otherwise the team may be disqualified or points deducted from the overall team score. Important! Read and Check Rules Carefully before Design and Construction

Any add -ons will result in disqualification. 6b The car body should be made from one whole piece of balsa wood. Two or more, like or unlike, pieces of balsa wood or any other material will not be considered one piece. 6c Designs will be tested and examined for any hidden implants within the car body/wheels. Any implants will result in disqualification.

Repair and Maintenance

Complaints Procedure

7a No repair or maintenance is to be carried out after the vehicle has been registered without the permission of F1 in Schools staff.

8a All complaints regarding racing track marshalling and/or illegal cars should be reported by 14:00 on the day of the final. All other issues/complaints by 12:00 on the same day and all in writÂŹing to the event coordinator. We cannot consider changes to procedures after these times. Any complaints after this time should be made in writing and given to the event coordinator to be dealt with after the close of the event.

7b If any entry becomes damaged during the event, teams will be allowed to use their spare car, as long as the judges have determined that the spare is identical to the original. In the unlikely event that the second car becomes damaged, the entry will be evaluated by the event coordinator, who will make a ruling as to whether or not the team will be allowed to repair the vehicle. This is the only reason a team should be allowed to tamper with their car after registration.

7d Damaged wheels may only be replaced with the permission of the event coordinator.
