Problems Encountered

Failure to fit in 4x4x4 box Best solution would

be to be a total redesign.

Corrective Action: installed a hinge on the front pedal tower.

Rear Upper Air bag support brackets

MEA (mental element analysis) failed.

Corrective Action: adding cross-sectional area to failed area

Rear A-arms Rear A-arms were

bent after testing on obstacles.

Corrective Action: added gussets to high stress points on rear lower A-arms.

Driveshaft pin connection Pins were sheared

multiple times on rear inboard Universal Joints

Corrective Action: Welded it

Jammed an Allen wrench into it and broke it off

Chain breaking Chain was catching

on sprocket mounting bolts.

Corrective Action: countersunk bolt heads

Back of rear seat Rear seat back

broke

Corrective Action: welded it.

Fenders Fender mounts failed

when bent three times

Corrective Action: Redesign of fender mounts.Problem was fixed for the race by simply removing the fenders.

Things we would have done different.

More emphasis on handlebars and rider ergonomics.

Try to stick closer to manufacturing timeline.
