Please Note:
All photos must be of sufficient quality (focus, resolution, lighting, etc.) to make out
engineering detail. Any or all photos, without sufficient clarity and detail, will be
considered a non-submission.
Both video and pictures submissions are mandatory. Failure to submit any of the
above detailed video and photographs will be considered as non-submission.
After submitting Running Car Video / Photographic Documentation, there are three possible
outcomes:
- A Rated Car: The BSI Judges find the car meets the minimum standard of good
engineering workmanship and safety. The car will be allowed to compete in BSI and may
proceed to Tech Inspection. The BSI Judges might send the team a list of items they feel
the team can improve on to be more competitive.
- B Rated Car: The BSI Judges find the car needs some redesign / rework /
remanufacture in order to meet the minimum standard of good engineering
workmanship and safety. Within 20 days of video / photo submission, the team will be
sent a list of required improvements (in the form of a prioritized checklist) to be
completed. The team will get a unique second chance to redesign / correct / repair all
checklist items in the time remaining until the BSI competition. All items on the returned
BSI Judge checklist will be inspected at the BSI event site prior to Tech Inspection. If the
team made satisfactory improvements / corrections they will be allowed to compete and
proceed to Tech Inspection. Failure to make satisfactory improvements / corrections will
result in the team being judged ineligible to compete in BSI.
- C Rated Car: The BSI Judges find the car needs extensive redesign and/or
remanufacturing in order to meet the minimum standard of good engineering
workmanship and safety. The car will be judged as potentially ineligible to compete in
BSI. Within 20 days of video / photo submission, the team will be sent a list of required
improvements (in the form of a prioritized checklist, complete with suggested solutions).
Points Penalty:
If a team is promoted from being a C car to a B car after pre-tech inspection at the event, they
will be allowed to compete. However, they will be penalized 50 points from overall points scored at
BSI.
Ineligibility:
If a team fails to make the required improvements / corrections & miss the deadline by more than 7
days, the team will be rejected and that teams spot will be offered to the next team on the Wait
List. However, the team is still allowed (and strongly encouraged) to come to BSI with their car and
speak with Design Judges and receive advice and insight on how to improve their next years car,
and enjoy the BSI atmosphere of learning and competing.
File Formats:
All photos must be at least 1366 X 788 pixels, in size. File naming convention is as follows:
CarNumber_TeamName_IMG_ImageNumber.jpg. (69_TeamTiger_IMG_34.jpg) Please use the
numbering format listed above for all photos. (Example: The number 12 photo will always be the
front view of the vehicle with the cockpit template in place.)
All pictures need to be uploaded on the specific upload location ONLY.
Any additional documentation needs to be in .pdf format and in the form of a report. Submission of
files which require specific software to open and view the files will be treated as non-submissions.
Please Note:
Late submission will be treated as non-submission. Non-submission will result in teams
being judged ineligible to compete at BSI.
Submissions not adhering to guidelines (File Name Convention / poor resolution /
incomplete submission) will be treated as a non-submission. Non-submission will result in
teams being judged ineligible to compete at BSI.
Teams who submit video & photos well ahead of the deadline will have more time to make
corrections on their car. All teams are strongly encouraged to send the required video /
photo submissions as soon as possible. (Sharp teams will take advantage of receiving
feedback ahead of the competition.)
If a team is judged ineligible, it means they will not be allowed to submit their car for Tech
Inspection, or participate in any Static or Dynamic events. However, they are still strongly
encouraged to bring their car and visit BSI, in order to gain feedback for future years.
Re-inspection of Corrections Checklist at BSI:
Inspection of B & C cars , to ensure compliance with all items on the corrections checklist will be
held at the competition site, prior to Tech Inspection. The B car teams need to satisfy the BSI
Judges that they have indeed made all the corrections pointed out in the feedback checklist. This
inspection will be carried out by Design Judges, Rules Committee members & the Tech Inspectors.
Summary:
The intent of the Running Car Picture requirement is to allow competitors to be better prepared for
the BSI competition when they arrive on-site, while ensuring that every team has a strong chance of
quickly and easily passing Tech Inspection. It is also a chance to identify weak teams in order to
allow Wait List teams a chance to compete. For too many years we have seen students come to
competitions world-wide, only to either quickly break their car due to lack of testing, or spend all
week thrashing on their car in a failed last ditch attempt to get it running.
Shrewd BSI student competitors will easily see the benefit of essentially having their car previewed
by the BSI Design Judges ahead of the competition and then implementing the suggested
improvements.
Part D: Endurance Event Driver Change

D5.2 Endurance
BSI 2016 endurance will run for 4 hours & 10 minutes. However, the event format & length can be
