FHSAE Voltz N Boltz

The Vandal Hybrid Racing Team is a non-profit organization which advances the education of future engineers by designing and building a vehicle to compete in the annual Formula Hybrid competitions. The mission of the Vandal Hybrid Racing Team is to build the best Formula Hybrid vehicle possible using our acquired engineering and real world skills while having a good time. The Vandal Hybrid Racing Team is a great way for students to gain appreciation for the hands on side of engineering. Many skills used to build the formula hybrid vehicle are not taught in the class, but gained through trial and error along with plenty of practice. Because of the vast range of skills students learn while being a team member, the project produces very well rounded engineers with an appreciable understanding of how to apply engineering principles to every day challenges.
