3. Motivation and Objective
The motivation for the project is to be able to push the limitations on a formula car by innovatively re-designing the existing shift system
Objective
The objective of our design is to modify the existing mechanical shifting arrangement on the Pacific Motorsports Formula SAE vehicle to an electro-pneumatic system such that the shift sequence is executed in the shortest time possible.
Secondary Objective
The secondary objective is to add suspensions to the formula car so that it will be driveable for the first time
