[@RobDahm]

I want people to see the genuine side of what it actually took. I hate to say the bare minimum but anything less and we wouldn't have made it or passed tech. It really puts Pikes Peak organization into perspective with their standards being obviously so far above a simple track day.

[@user-gx5nw3se7m]

Thank you for this. The added authentic realism makes all the difference. Well done team with all the hard work, and excellent run Rob! You can literally see the very low polar moment the car now possesses, and easily the best sounding car at the race.

[@ChadCarney-hu3du]

I had a rule i came up with during mechanical engineering senior design project: if its not ready 2 days before, its not ready the day of. ESPECIALLY with no testing or shakedowns, ESPECIALLY because you need to get to know the car intimately. A year of driving the car and racing it before pikes peak would set you Hopefully nothing went wrong at pikes peak, wouldnt wanna see you fly off a cliff because yall forgot or rushed something. Its a lesson youll learn once. I would have scrapped and done it another time lol, sometimes the hardest thing to do is change the plans you set for yourself, especially when you put in 14 hour days for it, trust me i know lol

[@bernardthefourth]

Checking in every day for the next video.

[@keenanmatthews1208]

Quit agreeing to these impossible deadlines. When the crew is tired mistakes are made. When you're tired you crash a car if not worse. Learn your limits, make the cars right, and have time to relax and think things through.

[@aggonzalezdc]

Yea there's a line between ambitious and reckless. They do fantastic work, no need to rush things. Take the time and do it right. Realistically he probably should have stayed dqed, the testing sessions exist for a reason. Glad he's ok but this could have been very different.

No shade, but they probably should have kept you DQ'd, and taking a thoroughly untested car up Pikes is categorically insane... but ultimately I'm glad you got to run and survived lol. The car is absolutely incredible, congrats to you and the team for making it happen! Thru hard work and sacrifice, y'all literally did the impossible

[@Olimorveu]

In Formula Student, more seat time is often worth more lap time (and reliability) than a new aero part etc. That's why we had a guy purely focused on project planning, to limit our scope and deliver a product on time with sufficient testing time and margin. But hey, I'm still not any better at deadlines.

[@mm6705]

thats a really good idea. Very wise to limit scope because testing and shakedowns are not to be rushed either. Just from what little I saw in this video, there are several high risk areas I'd be VERY surprised that didn't cause issues. Rob needs someone to help him alter his expectations. Most competitors take MULTIPLE YEARS of submitting an incrementally improved race car to just FINISH the race. Let alone get a good time? Like, bro. lol

[@DocSineBell]

[@cristianramirez7295]

Having a 4 rotor sema car as a parts car for your pikes peak is a diff flex

Gonna be honest, the whole "grind to the eleventh hour" bit is getting old. I wanna see "early delivery with a gantt chart" daddy dahm. Edit: also not loving the "talk down on my team for being lazy" angle. Im all for hyping a team that goes the extra mile, but this is a job for these guys at the end of the day, and it's a good leader's responsibility to set his team up for success.

[@RobDahm]

100 percent agree. I padded the project plan with 2 months of testing and was super stressed months ago when deadlines werent getting hit. Its tough to hide my disappointment as i was begging people to take it seriously back then. Either way it reflects poorly on me. No more. It puts my life on the line at this point and makes a joke out of my whole push. Im just tired of hiding it. I do not want to be last second. My IT business never had this sort of issue. I have to get used to the flaky nature of fabrication and machine shops. from Jan 26 on i did nothing but prepare for pikes peak. I went to several driving schools while the team was supposed to build the car. Literally nothing got done while i was gone. So driving went from the biggest liability to the most prepared part. At the end of the day its 100 my fault. but i have to switch things up because im tired of having to do a hail mary last second because people dont take it serious until the last second. I promoted ethan to shop lead as hes the only person who reviewed my 1000 line gantt chart at all and kept on task. Thats the sort of internal management i desperately need.
