Understanding Naming Conventions

You may have noticed by now that we tend to refer to the two different cars we are building as car 17D and car 22A. So what are they?

17

C

2022

Competed at FH+E in 2022 and won 2nd place! This was our first ever car that was made. It is referred to as 17 since it started getting built in 2017.

17

D

2023 (Intending)

This is the same car as the one that competed in 2022 but with improvements to certain subsystems. Car letter is D since it is revision D.

22

A

2024 (Intending)

This will be our car completely built from scratch beginning design in 2022, hence the car number. It is revision A, and we’re hoping to use it to compete in both FH+E and FSAE Electric in 2024!
