THE TEAM
Management
Team Phantom is led by our own witty musketeers, guiding us with their leadership, comedic personalities, and awe inspiring effort.
ENGINEERING
The Engineering Team is made up of four Sub Teams: Power, Controls, Frame & Aero and Dynamics. Each Sub Team plays an integral part to make our electric racing vehicle functional, safe and powerful.
Power
The Power Team is responsible for designing, assembling and managing the car’s electrical system that operates at high and low voltages. Power Team Members design schematic and Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and test every electrical aspect of the car while practicing safety first for the driver’s well-being. Each Power Team member is motivated to complete the car by contributing towards the goal of completing the car’s electrical sub-system that compliments other subsystems led by other engineering Sub Teams.
Controls
The Controls Team is responsible for developing the software and firmware needed to verify and process the signals sent between the sensors and different sub-systems and enable the driver to interact with the vehicle. This work includes developing command line interfaces to test driving conditions and the vehicle’s response, data acquisition, and configuring the dashboard.
Dynamics
The Dynamics Team is responsible for managing the handling systems that provide the vehicle with agility and speed, such as drivetrain, suspension, and braking. Dynamics team members blend lap simulation software and Solidworks in order to design optimal solutions for mechanical systems. The team is responsible for designing the suspension and steering that let the car flow into corners, the braking that lets the car stop, and the components that transfer power from our motor to the wheels.
Frame & Aero
The Frame & Aero Team manages the design and fabrication of multiple physical car components, including the development of aerodynamic devices. The leading fabrication of Frame & Aero Team is the vehicle's frame, hence enabling integration of other Sub Teams’ components and uniting Team Phantom as a whole.
