Teams or class groups design a competitive end product
in the following areas:
Chassis, body shell, team ID and marketing.
Optional areas for development to produce a more competitive
car include:
Power train, suspension and steering, crash resistance
etc. In fact so long as the original motor and battery system
remains any modifications are actively encouraged.
The rear axle and chassis dimensions determine the overall
width of the car and can be easily made using simple tools.
