In an hour's time I'm going back to school. Not for official lessons, fortunately, but for the first FSAE meeting.
Told papa about it the day before, and turns out that he's not very happy about me being involved because we'd have to drive the car. Said he was just feeling sorry about his friend whose son goes to M'sia to race, and here his son is telling him he's going to the United States of America to race.
But I'm not going there to race! FSAE is an engineering competition, and the racing is but a very small component of the competition. And because it's such a large-scale event, there are very stringent rules and regulations that we have to comply to and I'm sure it's, well, pretty safe.
Guess I'd get around to soothing his anxieties soon lah.
AnywayZ, as a prelude of what is to come, or, I suspect, as a way of wanting to scare us new members, Prof has very kindly forwarded to us not-very-friendly-looking FSAE rulebook that is 125 pages long, and gently shared with us the fact that if we read just 10 pages a day, it would only take only 12 days to finish it wow! -_-;;
As if that weren't enough, he also forwarded us a very harmless-looking excel file, which I soon learnt, was the parts catalog of just the transmission parts, which already came up to a total of 1000 pieces, very professionally detailed with the weights of the parts up to 3 decimal places, and their respective costs.
Gawd, do I have much to learn.
