The Team Members:

Teacher: Pn. Rohana bte Mohd. Nor
TUN JOACHIM b. TUN FI I
Manufacturer Engineer (Team Leader)
Creative, Talented in Lego architecture and has the team management ability. Curious of how things work, lways !ondering about creating sci"fi ob#ects into reality, mostly. $e somehow #ust know to !ut stuff together and got it to work on its su!!osed manner.

TAN SHIN! "U#N

%esign Engineer
Talented with the !encil, he can create wonders after wonders of drawings. $el!s by giving ideas and !ossibilities. $e is best known as the man of wind due to his knowledge of aerodynamics. $e is most !assionate to be an engineer.

s creative as he is annoying, he can think of a !erfect design then creating outstanding !iece of work. $is notable contribution is mostly motivation.

&esource Manager

The team was founded through student with s!ecial ca!abilities. fter much consideration, team leader, Tun +oachim gathered a few students to form the team. The team members selected are ,erool -rfan, Ee Chun .ah and Tan /hing 0uen. The love and need for s!eed ins!ired each of us to #oin the F) in /chools com!etition. The team name was ins!ired by the the word 1T$ET 2. Through this word, the team agreed to combine the words Theta and E)!erimental together, forming 1TET "E32. The colours were selected by team leader, Tun +oachim. The colours selected were black, yellow and white. The colour yellow and white were choosen to give a striking im!ression on the car.

Review of The Brief & Spcification

Aerodynamics
erodynamics is the branch of science devoted to the study of the flow of air around and through solid ob#ects. -t is es!ecially im!ortant in the design of cars which move through air. :ne !rimary forces in aerodynamics is drag. -n order to overcome the drag coefficient, we have took three im!ortant factors in consideration in designing the car.

Stability
.e found that smaller tyrereduces gri! and reduce drag hence enabling higher straight s!eeds. More rubber, more gri!. Ma)imum amount of gri! by widening the tyre as wide as !ossible. More tyre threads is to decrease wear.

Downforce
.ith using an inverted wing which is an inversely aircraft wing, we can generate downforce by creating a !ressure differential between the to! and bottom wing. 5ecause of the wing !rofile, a higher !ressure is !orduced on the to! !art of the wing. s a result, the higher !ressure of air !ushes down the while the lower !ressure on the bottom air !ush u!. The !ressure difference generates downforce.

Speed
.e will minimi,e the frontal are by using the 786s narrow nose design that will eventually reduce drag. Thus making the car to move as fast as !ossible.
