F1 in School...

Not too long bak... Darryl, Roeshan, Asyraf and I formed a team and took part in a Competition called F1 in school... At 1st we werent really serious coz we didnt tink we would qualify anywayz... Surprisingly... Our managed to qualify to da next round!!

Abt da Competition
The Competition is basically abt making an miniature F1 car which runs on CO2 gas... Da car is actually designed using a program called Solid Edge... A machine is later used to cut a block of balsa wood according to da design.. Da whole competition consists of 300marks... 100 of it is from winning da race.. while 80 is for da design and creativity... 30 is presentation to da judges while da other marks is for maturity on getting sponsorship and oso da portfolio...

Qualifying
haha... tere actually wasnt much work dat needed to be done to qualify... all we had to do was prepare a 5page folio consisting of da Ideas for design of da car, team members, sketches of da car... and a few other things.... Darryl, Roeshan and I spent 1 full day to complete da folio... we had to stay up till abt 3am juz to complete dat 5page long thingy... we also got help from Sue Anne for da sketches ( none of us can draw )... Well.. it is partly our fault for doing things sooo last minute.. (1day b4 da deadline..)

Where We are Now...
OMG... we are way behind time... teres so much to do yet so little time... We've got to learn how to use da freaking Solid Edge program and oso do a freaking long port folio... Besides dat... we hav to find sponsorships as well... We'd probably need at least RM3000.. *AT LEAST* other teams gets up to RM50k.... OMG... according to da person incharge... we are currently somewher close to 5% of progress.. Sigh... But tere's no turning bak... no quitting... Bcoz such action might cause our skool to get black listed!! NOOooo!!!


What we Nid HELP with?
Contacts for people who can giv us da following:
1. Spray/Paint job...
2. Custom made Tyres
3. Designing Presentation Layouts and Animation...

Other than tad... Cash would be good hahaha!!

May da Good Lord Bless us!!!
