RC RACE

(entry fees: - 399/-)

Competitors will build their own Electric RC car either from their own design or from a D.I.Y kit.
No store bought / already assembled RC cars will be permitted. The course will be a road race.
The purpose of the RC race is to showcase the learning activities of students building radio-controlled cars and the components that make up this type of transportation system.
All RC Vehicles must be electric/battery powered.
The race will be divided into heats by classification. Each heat will have between 2-4 cars each.
The winner of each heat will advance to the next round. The number of teams entered will determine the number of rounds.
Each round will consist of a five-lap race.
The final round will consist of an eight-lap race.
A car must be operational and on the track at the end of a race or it will be disqualified.
All Cars / controllers must be submitted to the reporting desk, except when contestants are racing, until all races are over. Failure to return your radio/controller to the impound area will mean disqualification from the contest.
Someone from your race team must act as a corner marshal at all times during your race.

Part cutsheets that provide the manufacturer’s data about the specifications for each part or component not made by the student. Do not remove product stickers from parts.
This helps the judges identify that the correct parts listed and cut sheets were used. Removing stickers could result in disqualification of the vehicle.
