F1 IN SCHOOLS™ – WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

The F1 in Schools™ Technology Challenge is open to all Australian Students from school years 5 -12, to design and manufacture CO2 powered model F1 style racing cars using the latest industry design and manufacturing technologies and processes. Student teams from schools across Australia will compete to determine the best team of designers, collaborators, innovators and the fastest car. Teams may compete in School, Regional and State finals, for the chance of being invited to the F1 in Schools™ Australian National Final. The best Australian Teams are invited to attend the World Finals. The Challenge has been specially formulated so that all or some of its outcomes can be incorporated into any High Schools’ Technology, Design, Science or even Maths curriculum. CAD/CAM, CNC and VR systems are common place in industry, which is why it is so important for the engineers, designers and manufacturers of the future to come to grips with them early. These technologies are fundamentally based on science and maths and provide for a fun action learning approach to this curriculum. Students using CAD/CAM, CNC and VR technologies are able to create projects using the same technologies used by Industry of all scales. REA provides schools with ‘Best in the World’ technology solutions, a tool box for student excellence!  CAD (Computer Aided Design) encourages students to think, explore and visualise their ideas in three- dimensions, using features such as curve modelling and surface rendering, alongside more traditional orthographic presentations.  CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) packages, such as QuickCAM 3D and QuickCAM Pro, create an environment where CAD designs can be developed and prepared for automated manufacturing processes.  CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) packages, such as VWT (Virtual Wind Tunnel) allow computer models of designs to be analysed with regard to aerodynamic efficiency, then modified to further increase performance before anything is physically manufactured.  VR (Virtual Reality) packages allow complicated machining and processing tasks to be practised in real time and total safety. Packages such as Denford VR Milling allow CNC machining to be experienced, even when you don’t actually own the real CNC hardware.  Team Collaboration and Video Conferencing systems such as Cisco WebEx allow students to solve problems in live and offline forums, collaborate by sharing and developing files on-line and visiting manufacturing centres without having to leave their classroom.  CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machines, such as the Denford Routers, allow processed CAD models to be manufactured to high degrees of accuracy, fit and finish.  Desktop sized Wind Tunnels and Smoke Visualisation allow students to get hands on with the science of aerodynamics and motion.

DESIGN BRIEF

You are a Formula One Team commissioned to design, construct and race a model of the fastest straight line speed Formula One Car of the Future. There are special design specifications and racing regulations for this controlled racing category and parameters you must work within. These are detailed in the 2012/2013 Rules and Regulations document downloadable from www.rea.org.au. To succeed in the challenge you will need to work with modern design and manufacturing technologies like CAD (Computer Aided Design) software and CNC machines. You will also need to form one or more industry partnerships, to get advice or even assistance with manufacturing components not possible within your school. Alistair Smith, Design Engineer – Redline Racing with Formula 1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton If you enter as a Professional or Development Class 2009 World Championship, London team, collaboration and industry links are a very important part of the challenge marking criteria and your whole design for manufacture process will need to be documented, along with team marketing and promotion. Just like in Industry, to design and manufacture your project, you will need to work as part of a team of 3–5* students. Ideally, a main team role should be allocated to each person. However, you may have to double up on some roles and responsibilities, depending on the team size. * Note: Cadet Class teams consist of 1-3 students. There are many tasks that must be mastered, in order to design, manufacture, prepare and finally enter a car for racing, making TEAMWORK vital to your success. READ AND KNOW THE RULES! The following roles are suggestions to help you get started:

DESIGN ENGINEER This person is responsible for the styling and aerodynamic performance of the car design. The Design Engineer will work with 3D CAD and need to liaise with the Manufacturing Engineer through the use of CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) software to ensure ideas can be realised. The Design Engineer will need to have a good understanding of the rules and regulations.

RESOURCES MANAGER This person manages time, materials and equipment for design and making the cars. They could also be responsible for developing ideas regarding team marketing and industry links. 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 This person is usually responsible for the construction of the car and in particular the CNC manufacture of the car body. The Manufacturing Engineer will need to liaise with the Design Engineer to report and help solve issues with manufacturing of the car.

TEAM MANAGER This person would be responsible for managing the team, ensuring that all resources and team members are ready for competition. The Team Manager works closely with other members, guiding and implementing management strategies, team meetings etc. whilst offering assistance where necessary.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER This person would be responsible for producing graphical concepts for team identity as applied across the project, including layout of documents and displays, together with the final graphic renderings and any additional team marketing materials.
