The Problem

Responsible for ensuring a strong, reliable connection between the chassis and suspension system on LMU's first FSAE car. The main challenge was achieving structural integrity and precise alignment under dynamic loads while coordinating with other sub-teams to meet performance and safety standards.

What I would do differently?

I would be more proactive on the overall design of the vehicle suspension system. Lots of the ideas were not working due to knowledge gaps and miscommunication between I and my teammate
