Design of steering system for 3-wheeled solar vehicle
Undergraduate Thesis project

As an avid member of TeamArrow Racing Association, I partnered with my university to complete my thesis on researching an innovative steering system for the upcoming vehicle.

This involved collecting information across industries, applications, and technologies to determine a suitable and successful design. The key criteria from TeamArrow were safety, reliability, light-weight, and low cost.

While the team had previously used rack+pinion systems with success, the system of choice was cable-driven, to best achieve the criteria.

Grade: High Distinction (>85%)
