More Accolades For CMR

The Formula SAE Hybrid Competition in New Hampshire was a great learning experience for our team and it was a great way to prepare the team for the Formula SAE Lincoln Competition. CMR received the IEEE’s Engineering the Future Award for meeting the requirements of being a  “highly integrated team representing multiple IEEE technologies of interest, a vehicle that piques interest as a proper race car, and design and fabrication both ingenious and interesting.” CMR is grateful for this award and we hope to continue our success at the Lincoln Competition as our aim is to place 1st overall.

Formula Hybrid Competition Recap

  By

After a challenging month leading up to and during Formula Hybrid Competition, CMR has officially competed in our first electric competition!

In one of the most successful finishes in CMR history, 14e took home 3rd place overall in the electric category, but winning 1st place in design! This in addition to the IEEE Engineering the Future Award which recognized the most progressive and technologically advanced vehicle.

Although a week of all-nighters during competition for our electric team was not enough to overcome the electronics issues and ultimately prevented us from passing inspection, as a first-year vehicle CMR has accomplished much more than any competitor or judge ever anticipated.

We are looking forward to build on this success at our next competition this June in Lincoln, Nebraska, and also for next year’s vehicle.
