Introduction to Mini BAJA Competition

My name is Nassim Idouraine and I'd like to welcome you to my blog where I will be sharing my journey into everything about the Mini Baja SAE Competition. I will be working with the ASU Polytech BAJA team in making the best vehicle that we possibly can.

The Mini Baja SAE Competition consists of many small competitions that test off-road vehicles, that were built by engineering students, to their limits. All vehicles are powered by a ten-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine so each team must focus on engineering a vehicle that can beat others as well as withstand the tough competitions the vehicles will be put through. 

In my time with the team, I will be mainly learning how to bend and weld metals, as well as making small parts for the vehicle. I will be learning mechanical engineering by learning how each pipe of the car is used and how differing suspension can help or hurt the performance of the car in the race. I hope you are ready to take this journey with me into, The Mini BAJA SAE Competition.
