URI 2004 MiniBaja competition entry

This is the University of Rhode Island MiniBaja for the 2004 competition. It will be in Montreal for the competition this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Out of the entire time that I have been at URI, this is by far the best entry I have seen. Yeah, that is chrome baby! Good luck to all the MiniBaja teams this weekend!

Does it hang? It looks like it can get up the 6" step pretty easily.

Hey, this is a good-lookin' buggy. Gotta love the chrome. Good luck!

Uhh.. is that a CIM I see strapped under the 5 in the front section? It looks like it's driving a worm gear?

Very, very nice The chrome is stylin'.

That black cylinder in the front looks strangely like a Chiaphua motor.

Really nice looking bug, nice suspension.

Actually, that is the brake booster...but it does look an awful lot like one of the CIM motors.

The flotation was still being completed when the photos were taken. Once we got it all on, it was really nice to see that it didn't cover much of the chrome, or any of the sponsor decals. Testing in the pond behind campus proved that this little beast likes the water just as much as it likes dry land!

Awesome looking machine, Rob.

I did SAE mini-baja way back in 1985 at Michigan Tech - looks like the machines have gotten a little more polished since then ).

I think with an attachement like the Killer Bee's, it could hang.


RIT's Mini Baja team is going to be there. We'll see how your Chrome works against tested metal. So far this year, they competed in the Brazil and West tournaments and came in 11th and 5th (beating out 3 of the other colleges that I applied to). They are also competing in the Midwest and East tournaments.

So, if you like what you see, and want to travel a little, definetly consider RIT. Each year they do very well and try to enter all the American/Canadien competitions as well as one or two of the international competitions.

here's the website, but they don't have any recent pictures up, and i don't have any either. needless to say, we (team 1369) are working to try and get them more involved with FIRST...

Clarkson has a baja team as part of the SPEED program.
Good bunch of guys. Fun to work and play with.

We used the expansion foam from their flotation to make our "ramp dominating wings" last year. This year their former team leader was one of our chief designers (as part of his senior integrated design course). We had a lot of fun, and the FIRST-Baja partnership at Clarkson grows every year.

We've been watching them play with the new car all year, (They have a work area right near ours) and it looks pretty good. I can't wait to hear how they do. (Let's go tech!)

Baja-folks, is good people.

ick up jaw: I thought that was a bot (the CIM in front)

But in perspective, it reminds me of a wheel-chair motor I saw. (think big CIM)
