[OHPV-list] HPV Builders

[tha_capt]

Tha Capt here ~

Thanks Jeff - great link to share with any HPV builder - your 
resourcefulness is always appreciated by us builders.

Hmmm - Do you know - if - the ASME want their students to research their way 
through the build-out - - - or - - do they want the student to do their own 
"grass roots" designs for these competitions?

If research is the key for them - then by all means - OHPV could hold a 
afternoon seminar for the invited college students. We certainly have plenty 
of data to share with them as in advice, wisdom, streamliners, completed 
projects, and under-construction racers. We could also provide a list of 
resources in relation to their cause.

However - I'm feeling though - maybe - these student are only doing this 
exercise to get through the course and not really interested in the true 
science of competition. Do they really want to WIN ? Are they SERIOUS 
competitors?

 If so - then lets go to work.

later ~
