Formula E cars are designed and developed using build-from-scratch manufacturing techniques, as well as computer and rapid prototyping tools, advanced materials, and mechanisms that often produce complex design solutions that can quickly accelerate to speeds in excess of 25 mph.
This 14-week design project uses a uniquely designed remote-controlled race car powered by energy stored in a 16-foot rubber band. The event, held on a flat walkway in the Art Center’s Sculpture Garden, includes road racing, drag racing, and a hill climb.
