To challenge teams of university students to conceive, design, fabricate, develop, and compete with small, formula-style hybrid-powered cars.
The formula hybrid competition is intended as an educational program requiring students to work across disciplinary boundaries.
To allow teams to freely express design, engineering, and imagination.
Teams are allowed eight to twelve month to design, build, and test for the competition.

 Register for competition before slots fill.
 Successfully implement switchable hybrid drive.
 Finished curb weight not to accede 650 pounds.

Successfully implement data logging system.

Complete unrestricted 75 meter (246 feet) acceleration run in 5.4 seconds or less.
 Complete the final assembly by April 1.

Parallel Hybrid System Layout
Energy flows in 2 parallel paths from reservoirs to the wheels.
Series Hybrid System Layout
Energy flows in one path from reservoir, through all components, and finally to the wheels.
4

Both Parallel and Series configuration have different advantages and disadvantages. This is why we plan to implement a design that has the ability to switch between the two. In theory, this should achieve the best of both worlds.
