Abstract
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Baja Senior Design Team is tasked with building a single person off-road vehicle to both perform in a competitive setting and appeal to the consumer market. Baja SAE gives students the first-hand challenge of pursuing their passion while managing real-life demands and priorities. Each team's goal is to design and build a prototype of an all-weather, rugged, single-seat, off-road recreational vehicle intended for sale to the nonprofessional weekend off-road enthusiast. The three main design objectives we believe are needed to reach our goals are for the vehicle to be durable, manufacturable, and serviceable. The methods for accomplishing the objectives are making the vehicle lighter, improving the suspension travel, reaching a higher top speed, and using an organized set of nuts and bolts for each component.
