Malvern Robotics has teamed up with Virginia Tech for the upcoming ChumpCar Races in 2015. The ChumpCar competition is based on the idea of building the best car for the least amount of money. Race lengths vary from 7 to 36 hours, so the car must be efficient and durable. Malvern has been tasked with designing an active spoiler for Virginia Tech’s ChumpCar. This will be mounted onto the back of the car and be able to change position based on the speed of the car in order to maximize the downward force on the car, which will increase its grip on the road. Malvern Prep students have already held meetings with Virginia Tech, and are collaborating together to take part in the ChumpCar program.
