3DEXPERIENCE World 2024 - Race cars??

Hello Makers,

Every year, we are going to the 3DEXPERIENCE World for discovering, learning and to be honest to have fun...

Why not doing a race during the next one in Dallas??? Could be a great experience to meet each others, to exchange tips & tricks and to do a funny competition!

​​​​​​​

My proposal: Design, Make & Drive a RC Car

Few rules (need to be completed by the community and the racers!)

  1.  The design need to be realized with the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers or with any 3DEXPERIENCE On Cloud platform roles
  2.  Car details:
    1. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Size and Weight? need to be limited and defined together (we are travelling by plane)
    2. Materials allowed:
      1. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​for the 3D printed parts only PLA or PETG (no ABS, no Nylon, etc...)
      2. Wood
      3. Cardboard
      4.  Aluminium and steel parts allowed
      5.  Except for the 3D Printed parts, No plastic material is allowed
      6. Front Bumper --> Foam or Epp material
      7. Tires --> no limitation
    3. Electronic devices
      1. RC transmitter - no limitation (need to be confirmed by the local regulation)
      2.  Battery : lipo 2s hard case only (security)
      3. electric motor, no limitation
      4. Esc no limitation
    4.  Car chassis
      1. Main material Cardboard
      2. No differential
      3. Ball bearing allowed
      4. 1 large front bumper in foam or EPP
      5. Rims have to be manufactured by the competitor (no commercial RC Rims)
      6. 3D Printed parts, max 30% of the chassis weight allowed (% need to be validated)
      7. 2WD, 4WD, 2WS and 4WS allowed...
    5. Car Body
      1.  cardboard and paper only, no fiberglass, no Carbon, no polycarbonate...
      2. Wheels need to be covered by the body
      3.  beautiful as possible... with stickers, flashy colors, etc...
    6. Race (proposal):
      1. 5 minutes max
      2. 3 race runs
      3. we count the number of laps of the 2 best race runs
    7.  Communication
      1. All the cars need to be presented on this community before the race
      2. a picture of the real car and the print-screen of the car design need to be published 2 weeks before the 3DEXPERIENCE World...
    8. More ???

What to you think about this idea?
