SAE BAJA: (All-terrain vehicle)-(2016)
Event: Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd inassociationwithSAEINDIA,the nintheditionof BAJA All Terrain
CompetitionatNATRIPfacilityatPithampur,Indore.Participatedas MVSR ENGINEERING COLLEGE
team with team name TEAM RATCHET. I was the design leader for Roll Cage and Steering
Subsystem.
Key Achievements
 The Vehicle meetcomplete specificationasprovidedbyBAJA rule book
 DesignmeetsSafety, Ergonomics,CostEffectiveness,StandardizationandServiceability,
Maneuverabilityandweightrestrictionincomplete vehicle andeachparts
 Key Material Dimension(Crosssection) derivedbasedonevaluationin ANSYS
 Automatic transmissionsystem.
Software Tools Used:
 SolidWorks: ConceptDesign,SolidModeling&Rendering,Material AssigningandEvaluation&
DimensioningandTolerencing,Weight,Volume,Centerof gravitydeterminationandpre
